Creating Donkey Kong 64 is one of Nintendo’s best moves since the mtrodut
of the Nintendo 64. Nintendo has reinvented the classic arcade game with a polv
multi-character adventure game.
The first improvement was in the use of additional characters, each with their
vidual strengths and weaknesses. When the game begins, the player only control:
key Kong, but as the game progresses, the player must rescue more of the characters
and then use them to solve some of the game’s more challenging pu/ylcs.
The second improvement is the addition of a variety of other playing options, in
cluding a multi-player setting in which two people can do bailie against one another or
play together against the computer.
Awesome graphics and challenging puzzles make this game more attractive to old
er gamers. The extremely smooth game play also leaves very little to be desired.
It could be argued that Donkey Kong 64 is just another in Nintendo’s line of adven
ture games, which seem to have a lock on the market for attracting both young and old
players. Yet, even when compared with such games as Zelda and Glover. Donkey
Kong 64 still stands tall. Donkey Kong 64 is worthy of praise from even the most dis
criminating game player. (Grade: B+)

Televangelist back,
plans new network
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Fallen
televangelist Jim Bakker is back in
the pulpit, preaching mercy, for
giveness and understanding and
planning a new TV network.
Bakker and his first wife, Tammy,
were the first couple of televised re
ligion until he was convicted in
1989 of defrauding followers of
$158 million.
“Some of you hate me. I can tell,"
Bakker said to more than 2,700 peo
ple gathered Sunday at the First As
sembly of God Church. "How many
of you want to go to heaven?"
As people raised their hands
high in the air, Bakker pointed into
the congregation and said, “You’ve
got to love me.”
Bakker, 60, said he is planning
a new 24-hour network with fellow
minister and former football star
Reggie White.
Actor Kirk Douglas
returns to movies
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) — Kirk
Douglas said his
new film Dia
monds is “my
most important
movie” because it
was a triumph
over the stroke he
suffered in 1996.
The 83-year-
old actor got a douglas
standing ovation
Sunday from 650 people as he
introduced Diamonds during the
Palm Springs International Film
Festival. It was a homecoming of
sorts for Douglas, who sold his
desert home after the stroke.
“You know, when you have a
stroke, you must speak slowly to be
understood," Douglas said to the
crowd. “And when you speak slow
ly, people listen."
Douglas plays a stroke victim in
Diamonds, his first movie since his
stroke. “I thought I would never
make another movie unless silent
movies came back,” he said, draw
ing a laugh.

Annette Bening says sf
worked hard to
make her Ameri
can Beauty char
acter likable.
On paper, the
actress said, all
the film’s charac
ters seemed un-
likable.
“I just felt for
her." Bening, a
Golden Globe nominee for best ac
tress in a drama, said during Sat
urday's gala kicking off the Palm
Springs International Film Festival.
“I always feel a little bit like that,
like I'm fighting for whomever I’m
playing, but particularly in Caroline’s
case because she’s so flawed and
so imperfect." the actress said. “I
think that's why I loved her."
