A port of Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong has kidnapped Pauline, and it is up to Mario, the fearless carpenter, to come to her rescue. Throwing fate to the wind, Mario tries desperately to climb the labyrinth of structural beams from the top of which Donkey Kong taunts him. Help our hero ascend the metal structure by dodging an assortment of fireballs, steel beams, and exploding barrels the angry ape hurls at him. Prepare yourself for a never-ending adventure as Donkey Kong takes Pauline away to the next level every time Mario gets to the top. Based on the arcade game of the same name, this classic will keep hardcore and casual gamers entertained for hours. This Donkey Kong port differs from the arcade game, having only three stages instead of four.

donkey kong for the nes is very good because it is fun to jump around as a silly little fellow on precarious construction sites, eventually culminating in the defeat of the titular ape, donkey kong. hammering fires and barrels and such is also very rewarding both in points and in real, lasting happiness. pauline is a nice lady and deserves to be saved so i reckon everyone should give this game a go :)

Alright, Donkey Kong on the NES... it's a classic, but man, it's tough! Jumping those barrels, dodging fireballs – it tests your patience for sure. The music's catchy, and I guess it was cool for its time, but I just get frustrated trying to climb those ladders.

En su tiempo este juego debía de ser un 10 como juego, pero actualmente sí se siente medio X, es divertido como todo árcade, pero se repite demasiado y desafortunadamente los escenarios no cambian 😔.
Igual le tengo respeto a este juego, pero para estos tiempos no es muy bueno.

Over 40 years later and this game's still really fun. It's simple and short, even with Donkey Kong Jr. included, but I like it.

Fun game where you jump over barrels and climb ladders, but I doubt it'll ever turn into a franchise or anything.
