Title: I am searching for monkeys........
Post by: Uncle Monkey on March 25, 2009, 07:37:37 pm
Uncle Monkey is making his first arcade cab, and is searching for video-game monkeys. I'd like to use these monkeys' sprites when skinning my front-end, and i'm trying to get enough that each system can have it's own compliment of monkeys from it's games. So far I have thought of Donkey Kong and all relatives - multiple systems. The monkey from Yoshi's Island for SNES/GBA. George from Rampage - multiple systems. Woo from King of the Monsters - multiple systems. Blizzard and Chaos from Primal Rage - Arcade. That's it off the top of my head, but I plan on having all possible emulators and games in my Ultra Arcade, so whatever you can think of, I'd love to know......

Monkey Island (I've never played so I'm assuming)
Chimchar (http://www.pokemon-pearl-diamond.com/chimchar.php), Monferno, and Infernape from Pokemon.
Kiki from Zelda. (http://www.zelda.com/universe/pedia/k.jsp)
Ukiki from Mario (http://www.mariowiki.com/Ukiki) (I don't consider him part of the Kong family :) )
Ape Escape (Never got to play it, my ex stole all my copies  :timebomb:  )
Time Splitters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TimeSplitters_Future_Perfect#Monkeys).

Lastly, you could always cheat and use the crappy-game-based-on-a-movie King Kong.

Stole to hurt you, or stole to play?

A little of both. I suspect in the end it probably didn't matter since she probably just sold them on eBay. If she still plays, she upgraded to a 360 by now. She took about half my PS2 library.

I also forgot that Family Guy has Evil Monkey and I'm certain the game must have Evil Monkey in there.

Dexter's Lab has a monkey as well, who I think I've seen in a video game or 2.

Alas, relationships. At least she played them some.
