Description: It was a groundbreaking title, based around control, strategy, and of course, the unconventional moustachioed man who would go on to become the most iconic character in videogame history, whether you're downloading his DSi games via the
latest O2uk Mobile Broadband or you're playing Galaxy 2 on the Wii.
Donkey Kong is an iconic arcade game that was developed by Shigeru Miyamoto and Gunpei Yokoi, and released by the Japanese corporation Nintendo in 1981. The game is one of the first examples of the platform genre, while Donkey Kong's main characters later became Nintendo's most recognizable characters. The game became a major success in North America despite the fact that the company's American staff had doubts about it in the beginning.
The player controls the main character named Jumpman (the later Mario) who has to rescue the Lady (which later came to be known as Pauline) that was captured by a giant monkey named Donkey Kong. To rescue the Lady, you need to overcome obstacles, destroy various objects and collect items that belong to the Lady such as purses, hats and umbrellas. You have three lives and a bonus life for every 10,000 points.
Donkey Kong is divided into four different stages with each representing 25 meters of the structure that was climbed by Donkey Kong. The last screen therefore represents 100 meters. The game has a higher level of difficulty in compare to other
classic arcade games, while rescuing the Lady (winning the game) requires proper timing of the Jumpman's ascend as well as some patience. Other interesting classic games include
Zelda and
Galaga.
Instructions: Use arrows and spacebar
