Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong is an arcade game developed by Nintendo, released in 1981. The game uses graphics and animation as vehicles of characterization and was the first to introduce such characters as Mario, Donkey Kong and Pauline.

Donkey Kong smirks upon Jumpman's demise. The Lady is instantly recognized as female from her pink dress and long hair, and "HELP!" appears frequently beside her.Jumpman, depicted in red overalls and cap, is an everyman character, a type common in Japan.

The storyline is thin but well-developed for its time. In it, Jumpman (now known as Mario) must rescue a , Lady (now known as Pauline), from a giant ape named Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong was the product of a Nintendo artist named Shigeru Miyamoto. Miyamoto did the entire game himself (even the music) and decided he'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."

It was the first to tell a complete narrative in gaming format and the first to use the damsel-in-distress paradigm, later mimicked by countless other video games. Mario became Nintendo's mascot and he and Kong went on to become two of Nintendo's most popular characters. The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) version of Donkey Kong (1986) brought Nintendo and these iconic characters into the homes of game lovers worldwide.

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

Special 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.
