		Donkey Kong is also notable for being one of the first complete narratives in video game form, told through simplistic cut scenes that advance the story.

	Granny Vinnie Reviews Donkey Kong for the Atari 7800 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This is a questionable name for this ape anyway, not only because he is not a Donkey, but he will later star in several of his own video games, a cartoon, learns to drive a go-kart, and plays tennis and golf like a pro.
		Donkey Kong looks pretty good, but I'm not sure what is going on in his genital region, and I'm not sure I want to know.
		It's still decently fun, mainly because it's Donkey Kong, but after a few minutes of listening to the shrill sounds and wrestling the controls, you will be scrambling around for one of the 7800's much better Arcade ports soon.

		Donkey Kong Country 3 is another really solid platformer that's fun and challenging, but it's not something that's really going to grab you with anything new.

	Twin Galaxies Forums :: View topic - Donkey Kong (Arcade) - NEW WORLD RECORD !! (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Most players have no idea whether "Donkey Kong" actually ends, but let me tell you, it does when you reach level 22 and start with a timer so low that it is absolutely impossible to make it up to the top of the screen, let alone the third girder up.
		Owning the world record on a title such as "Donkey Kong" is quite an achievement, as the title has not changed hands much over the past few years.
		The reason that Crazy kong is tracked too, is that it is not a clone of Donkey kong.
