Donkey Kong

ItemImage

Donkey 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.

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.
