If you’ve ever wondered how the game came to be, from its iconic soundtrack to its (for the time) ground breaking visuals, plus the process that went into redesigning Donkey Kong for a new age (a redesign that has lasted to this day), you won’t want to miss this.
Members of the panel include…
- Gregg Mayles (Game Designer)
- Steve Mayles (Art)
- Kev Bayliss (Art)

EGX will take place from Friday 25th to Sunday 27th October alongside MCM Comic Con, and will be the first time both events are under one roof. Attendees can expect many more panel announcements in the coming weeks.
