This is unfortunately the worst of the DK original series. While the idea is good with the spray gun so that he goes in a bee hive, you will spend your time only mashing the spray gun button. I think they only put Donkry Kong in it because it would sell more copies.

Game #9 of my challenge

Yes it's true that the quick time event is really frustrating since they are really quick, when playing on a console (played on switch, but couldn't find on this site), you learn the pattern and you can reach the other room easily. The unlimited lives helps a lot. The animation is so fun and colorful that it's really impressive that this game really released in 1983.

Game #8 of my challenge

In solo mode, the game can be repetitve since it's the exact same level display, but with different enemies. The fireball can be annoying if you aren't fast enough. However, the game can be fun in 2 players. You can play it in coop to reach the farthest level, or you can play competitively, which make the game way more fun since you try to screw your friend over.

Game #7 of my challenge

Basic space shooter. You can shoot in front of you or on the ground. There is not much else to it. If you like space shooter, it's a classic, but like any arcade games, it's okay for a short amount of time.

Game #6 of my challenge

I review it around the same as Donkey kong on the NES. Few levels, the controls are not great. The vines mecanics in which climbing while holding two at the same time to go faster is interesting. Not enough replayability.

Game #5 of my challenge

Never been attached to this game. Yes the mecanics are really different from the arcade games of the time, but the game is really repetitive.

Game #4 of my challenge

One of the most fun arcade games of his time. Yes, it's a simple space shooter game, but the fact that there's some strategie to it (like capturing your ship on purpose) makes the game even more fun. Only a 3 because it is still a product of his time and the fun doesn't last long.

Game #3 of my challenge

It's fun for the first loop. Afterwards, it starts to be redundant, especially when they removed one of the four stages of that game : the factory.

Game #2 of my challenge

It's still a fun game, however the fun only last half hour max. I can still see myself play it again just to beat my score.
