Donkey Kong 3 is kind of the black sheep of the Donkey Kong series. It has a guy named Stanley squirting bug spray up Donkey Kong’s nether regions in an attempt to protect his flowers.
But someone else apparently had heard of this game and decided to replace Donkey Kong and his insect minions with robots, and Stanley with a little lizardy guy.
And for a bit of a different look, I’ve compared both of these games side-by-side
It’s kind of cut off at the beginning, but this game was supposedly hacked by someone called “Grimlick”, which makes me think that these guys are supposed to be Transformers of some kind, but I’m not up enough on my lore to know if that’s accurate.

Long Exposure Photographs of Video Games by Rosmarie Fiore
“These photographs are long exposures taken while playing video war games of the 80’s created by Atari, Centuri and Taito. The photographs were shot from video game screens while I played the games. By recording each second of an entire game on one frame of film, I captured complex patterns not normally seen by the eye.”

“While it might look a bit singed and melty around the edges, this Nintendo Game Boy managed to survive a bombing back during the 1990-1991 Gulf War.”
