Transcript from Jeff Kulczycki (Donkey Kong 2) chat at Coinopspace.com
Back in March Jeff Kulczycki stopped by Coinopspace for a live chat with arcade collectors and specifically Donkey Kong fans. Jeff Kulczycki spent about an hour and a half detailing his decisions during the development of D2K (Donkey Kong 2).
