The actual game didn't look like this. But it did look damn good for its time. I remember being absolutely amazed.

Though I believe they used the actual game models for this render, it's just a higher resolution than the ones they use in game.

Yes -- and it's a huge difference. Lots of jaggies on the original.

Mind you, they didn't resolve as well considering CRTs.

Donkey Kong Country looked like crap even when it was new. It had novelty going for it (in its graphical style; its gameplay would've been dated half a decade earlier) but nothing else.

I've never heard anyone make these claims about donkey Kong country before. I remember it being highly praised for innovative gameplay and impressive graphics, especially for it's generation.
