Donkey Kong Country was a game that proved that you don't need CD-based technology to make games with flashy graphics

In a world where there were CDs, companies like Sega and 3DO had tried to capitalize on the concept of playing video games on a CD, giving the games enhanced graphics and sound

Cranky Kong claims that the game only sold well because of the game's "fancy graphics" and that "kids would buy anything these days"

The graphics are REALLY good.
