Fighting against a Gorilla was never my passion. I prefer killing aliens. Donkey Kong was actually the first video game that actually had something like a story ("You player rescue girlfriend!") - and it also introduced to us the great Mario.
This was the first game of the amazing Shigeru Miyamoto - who never had written a line of code or designed a video game before this one.
In the end the Gorilla might have eaten all your money, but Nintendo and Mario were the real winner.
Enjoyed Donkey Kong, Turtle Bridge, Pacman - I still play Pacman sometimes. One of my favourites is Lode Runner. The hidden Easter Eggs was a novelty for me at the time and 2 player mode gave it something more. The soundtrack was awesome and another feature was an editor where you could build your own levels. Did you ever play, Guru? My next must-try is WildDivine.
@anotsoperfectstranger: Lode Runner was pretty cool and addictive. I had it for some of my old computers … loved it!
No fakes and no insults please. Thanks!
