About
Save Lady from her kidnapper Donkey Kong!
"DONKEY KONG" is an action game released in 1981 by Nintendo. Avoid a variety of obstacles while heading through a construction site to make it to the top and rescue Lady. Use the hammer to destroy the barrels and fire coming towards you to earn more points. * This version contains both the early and later versions as well as the international version.
The "Arcade Archives" series has faithfully reproduced many classic Arcade masterpieces.
Players can change various game settings such as game difficulty, and also reproduce the atmosphere of arcade display settings at that time. Players can also compete against each other from all over the world with their high scores.
Please enjoy the masterpiece that built a generation for video games.

Mario (or rather Jumpman) may seem quite limited in his abilities (and death by a short fall is very old school), but Donkey Kong is a fun game. Tougher than the NES port it can get quite addictive as you seek to improve your high scores. Should the many re-releases of the NES version failed to have impressed, there's nothing here that will win you over, but for fans of the game, Arcade Archives Donkey Kong is something of an ultimate release. Three versions of it with a few display options and HAMSTER's usual array of modes and online leaderboards make this a great choice for fans of high score chasing games.

Of the seven Nintendo arcade games released by Hamster through its Arcade Archives line, Donkey Kong is hands-down the best. You already know the story of how it launched Shigeru Miyamoto's career and made Mario a household name. Thing is, the game is still a lot of fun even today, more than 40 years after its release.
This is not precisely the same game as the Nintendo Entertainment System port that was an early Famicom system-seller, and which you can enjoy on the Nintendo Switch Online service. The screen is quite a bit taller, for one, and there's a fourth stage which is absent from the NES version.
More than that, this is one of the most important games ever created. I cannot recommend it enough to every Nintendo Switch owner. You would not have that console in your home today were it not for Donkey Kong.
