Some of the most humble beginnings you'll ever see! Donkey Kong is a neat little arcade game with a good rhythm, but of course standards we'd get used to make it crazy that it's just 3 stages on repeat. However, the idea itself would be expanded in a great re-imagining for the original Gameboy.

I don't have much else to say, except the story behind the struggles Nintendo had getting this game out in arcades is extremely fascinating.
