ItemImageDonkey Kong was released in 1981 by Nintendo and featured smoother graphics than previous arcade games. The controls were simple but the game itself could be challenging. Origin of the name Donkey Kong is viewed as either word play with Donkey meaning stupid and Kong having been taken from the classic feature film. Another story claims the name Monkey Kong was misread during a fax transmission.

One of the classic arcade games and the original incarnation of the Mario videogame franchise.

The other day I somehow managed to find my hand-held Donkey Kong Nintendo game in the attic that I used to play when I was Nine. I picked it up and started playing with it again and I didn't want to put it down. Unlike todays games where the graphics are getting more and more like movies and special effects are practically diverting from the whole objective of why we're playing, simple games like Donkey Kong, Pacman, Frogger and Space Invaders are just basically an intention to go back to the basics and have fun.

June 1981, a month in video game history that will remain with us forever, as that was the month that the game Donkey Kong was released to the western world by an unknown former Japanese playing cards company with almost 100 years under it's belt, otherwise known as Nintendo Co. Limited. Donkey Kong (meaning Stupid Money) is about a rather large ape that managed to grab hold of the love of a carpenter (originally called Jumpman, but was renamed after the landlord of Nintendo of Amercia's original offices in New York) and take her to a construction site. Our hero, Mario must dodge every barrel, flame, and obstacle to rescue Pauline from the crazed Donkey Kong. Once you grab a hammer, you're unstoppable! Shortly after this game, Donkey Kong and Mario would appear in another game together (Donkey Kong Jr.), then it was Mario and Pauline (Pinball), and finally along the way the small games paid off. In 1985, the world finally got to see the carpenter turned plumber finally got his own full-fledge game known by all as Super Mario Bros.. The rest is history!

Another masterpiece from the best video game designer of all time, Shigeru Miyamoto. Debuing not only Donkey Kong (as a villain!), but also the infamous superstar plumber Mario, this game as a true classic. Mario must rescue the princess (Sounds familiar?) from the clutches of Donkey Kong while hopping over barrells and burning oil cans! True Nintendo magic.

Donkey Kong's the reason why we have mario and donkey kong and princess peach today. mario(jumpman) has to rescue a princess from the clutches of an evil, barrel-throwing, maniac monkey.
