Two noteworthy releases were provided to owners of the TRS-80 Color Computer. With the lack an official port of Donkey Kong, a clone was made in 1982 called '''Donkey King''', developed by Chris Latham and published by Tom Mix Software. It played exactly like the original with minor graphical changes. Due to possible legal threats, the name was changed to "The King" in 1983. | Two noteworthy releases were provided to owners of the TRS-80 Color Computer.

On March 31, 2007, John Kowalski released a new port of Donkey Kong to the TRS-80 Color Computer that was more faithful to the original arcade game than any port that has ever been made. Kowalski hand translated the original Z80 assembly language from the arcade to TRS-80 native 6809 assembly language, making it one of the most accurate conversions possible. It even supports all of the available dip switch configurations. A Color Computer 3 with 512KB RAM is required to make the game run. A 6309 allows the game run smoother, but is not required. | On March 31, 2007, John Kowalski released a new port of Donkey Kong to the TRS-80 Color Computer that was more faithful to the original arcade game than any port that has ever been made.
