Donkey Kong Arcade

In the Frantic Factory stage, head into the testing area. You will find a classic Donkey Kong arcade machine from 1981. If DK has learned how to pull switches then you can play the full original game.

Beat it once for a Golden Banana, then beat it again on a higher difficulty to earn the Nintendo Coin.

Jetpac (ZX Spectrum)

Once you've collected 15 Banana Medals, Cranky will give you a chance to win a Rare Coin. You must play Rare's very first game, Jetpac.
