Donkey Kong
NES Game Reviews #14 – Donkey Kong
Keeping with the Black Box releases, I ventured onto an absolute arcade classic, Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong was an absolute smash in the arcade and Nintendo’s first outing in the video game market. It’s no surprise to see Donkey Kong ported to Nintendo’s first home console. What is a surprise is the exclusion of one of the levels, ie the Pie Factory. Instead of the classic four levels which repeat from the arcade, the NES port only has three. Still as a kid I never knew about the Pie Factory level since I never played the arcade cabinet so didn’t bother me one bit.
Aunque Donkey Kong no tiene más que encanto, tiene más en común con una generación de juegos que le precedieron en los sistemas Atari que con lo que le siguió en la NES, un periodo en el juego impulsado por las puntuaciones altas y no por las pantallas finales. Para cuando puedas prepararte una taza de té, ya lo habrás completado. No supone un gran reto, pero es un placer jugarlo.

I’m attempting to complete every UK NES game for charity using original hardware and games only. No cheats, no game genie, no walkthroughs(where possible). If you would like to sponsor me to support Mental Health UK, please follow the me on Instagram @CabiNES_fever or visit my Just Giving page.
