Nintegageo | 583 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Were the colours used in the original DK intended to match Popeye's shirt? Or was it some lame technical reason? I know the game was originally supposed to be a Popeye game. Google didn't really seem to have an answer.

Sumez | 3,205 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) I can't answer about the relation to Popeye (though the original cabinet artwork does seem to slightly mimick the style of Popeye, no?), but it's definitely not a technical reason. The hardware that DK runs on supports fairly vibrant palettes, and a lot of simultaneous ones. It feels quite underutilized in the that game.
