Donkey Kong This classic game first appeared at the arcades in 1981, and was the
first to introduce such characters as Mario, Donkey Kong and Peach.
Donkey Kong was the product of a Nintendo artist
named Shigeru Miyamoto. Miyamoto did
the entire game himself (even the music), the only help he got was with
the name. He and a manager decided they'd call it "Donkey Kong" because
"kong" would imply a gorilla was involved, and "donkey" was used because
their Japanese-to-English dictionary said it meant "stubborn, wily, and
goofy." The story : Donkey Kong has stolen Mario's girlfriend and taken
her to the top of a steel structure. You move Mario over girders and up
ladders, leap over tumbling barrels, dodge lethal fireballs and jump
onto fast-moving elevators, trying to rescue Mario's girlfriend from
Donkey Kong. Instructions : Space Bar to jump; Use your left/right arrow keys to move from left to right, etc. To climb ladders use your Up arrow.
