Donkey Kong

You can bet a hundred bucks to someone that they've played this game. people have played this for generations, and all of them have had fun, one way or another.

Donkey Kong, a giant ape, breaks out from the local Zoo (or at least i think he did.) and kidnaps a woman named Paula. so, it's up to jump-man (also known as Mario) to go and rescue this woman, and defeat the monkey who stole her.

Donkey Kong has come a long way. from enemy, to good guy, and to rhythm game icon. in the second version of the donkey Kong games, he was captured and Mario was holding him there. so Mario isn't all you think he is. but nowadays, DK and Mario don't hate each other. they just beat each other up every now and then. play super smash bros to do stage a fight between the 2.

this outdated, but fun game gets 8/10

I was crazy about King Kong both 1933 and 1976 versions. When I turned 10 in 1981 at Addalin's Palace in the Granite Run Mall, my brother introduced me to Donkey King . . . it featured "King Kong" throwing barrels down at Mario who was trying to rescue a kidnapped girl JUST LIKE KING KONG in the sense of the kidnapped girl . . Donkey Kong therefore became a mighty Joe young descendant my mind. Then the next year COLECOVISION brought Donkey Kong home and followed by the LED stand alone version. After which Donkey Kong Jr and Donkey Kong 3 cam along. I still have my two-screen LCD Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong 2 games in my nightstand. My reflexes are just as sharp too even. Of course some people will not find this helpful. But I'm nuts about Donkey Kong. and of course we cant forget the awesome ADAM computer super game packs and the Atari 2600 King Kong and Odyssey 2's Pick-AX Pete spin offs. PLEASE RELSEASE DONKEY KONH for Gamecube and Wii in its original form!!!!

Without a doubt, "Donkey Kong" marked a big moment in video game history. It was the first ever video game to have a story, and it introduced us to a carpenter named "Jumpman" (soon to be known as Mario of "Super Mario Brothers" fame) who had to save his girlfriend from the clutches of Donkey Kong while avoiding enemies like rolling barrels. While the game is outdated by today's standards of video games, it's still worth a playing.

The Donkey Kong series is one of the most different adventure video games! The cool characters and the action makes this game really fun! Below is a brief look how I think the game is!

Game Play: The game play is very good. There is really basic controls here and is easy to perform. Novice gamers should have a good time here!

Graphics: The graphics are wonderful especially on several game systems. The character especially Mario are really neat!

Difficulty: The game is easy but as it goes on you find out that it will become more difficult!

Music: The music is great! Just fantastic catchy tunes through out the game! In My opinion its some of the best music ever in a video game!

Sound: The sound is great. Nuff said!

Overall: I have always loved Donkey Kong! If you like excellent adventure games then I strongly recommend you play this game!

The first time I played "Donkey Kong" was on N64 believe it or not - it was included as an easter egg no "Donkey Kong 64" which was, like "Mario 64," a 3-D Kong adventure.

At one point in the game, playing as Kong, you get to activate an old arcade game and play the original 1981 version of the video game.

It's actually a great deal of fun, and very hard at times to progress. You play as Jumpman (Mario before he was given a name I suppose), a little guy in a red cap who jumps up and down a lot. You have to progress through levels jumping over objects that Donkey Kong throws at you. Your object is to rescue the girl he is holding hostage. (Ah, a nice King Kong homage.) Overall this is a very fun classic video game that still holds up to this day despite its poor graphics. A must-play for any gamer!
