Welcome to the world of Donkey Kong, one of the most famous arcade games ever made! Released by Nintendo in 1981, this game tells a story on screen, which was a big deal back then. You play as a carpenter named Jumpman (who later became a super famous plumber named Mario) on a mission to rescue his girlfriend, Pauline, from the giant ape, Donkey Kong.

Your job is to run and jump across steel beams and climb ladders on a construction site to reach the top where Donkey Kong is holding Pauline. But be careful! Donkey Kong will try to stop you by rolling barrels and other objects your way. It’s a true test of your timing and skill.

Donkey Kong is the game that started the whole platformer genre, where you jump between platforms. It’s a piece of video game history that is still super fun and challenging to play today!
