Do you remember 1981 when the original Donkey Kong arcade came out?  I sure don't. I do remember eight years later first playing this game at a Dairy Queen. That game ate my quarters faster than.. Well it just ate a lot of my quarters. Then I picked up a Nintendo game that saved me quarters and a walk to the Dairy Queen. It was Donkey Kong on the NES and let me break it down for you.

10- Graphics are a ten because this was a port of a game that predated the original Super Mario Bros on the NES so it's important to hold it to that standard. The graphics are sharp and clear. You see a monkey at the top of the screen tossing barrels down at Mario and you can clearly see what you have to do. Big step up from the Atari days.

10- Sound, there isn't much to say other than it doesn't get repetitive and it's one of those themes that sticks in your head, which leads me to my next rating.

10- Addictiveness, Lets face it I guarantee you you will keep playing this game until you beat it. Why? It's because you wanna win. With an older game like this, even to this day, you find yourself playing the levels over and over until you get past them. Until you put that eight bit monkey in his place! Oh and save the princes, I guess that's important to.

10- Depth is great in this game. Monkey throwing barrels at you, must avoid to get to the top and save princess, AMAZING! I wish I thought of it first.

10- Difficulty, this game is difficult because you will find yourself playing some levels over and over to beat them. Even if this game isn't new to you, you will still be smacked down a time or lets face it a dozen but the game leaves little room for error you better have your jumps timed and your Mario in motion.

Overall- This is an amazing game and I recommend it. It was one of the first platform games out there and what a great experiment it was. Whether you are familiar with this game or not, revisit this classic and take it for a spin because much like a sports car this game never goes out of style.

this is wonderful and it still is amazing I remember playing this when I was young so addictive and fun! I enjoyed reading this

It not that difficult..It had just 3 levels.But I more like to the Arcade version.Cuz it the first one I played..

But it still an amazing game..
