Donkey Kong 1981 - Arcade Gameplay

Donkey Kong ( ドンキーコング) is an arcade game released by Nintendo in 1981. It is an early example of the platform game genre, as the gameplay focuses on maneuvering the main character across a series of platforms while dodging and jumping over obstacles. In the game, Mario (originally named "Jumpman") must rescue a damsel in distress named Pauline (originally named Lady), from a giant ape named Donkey Kong. The hero and ape later became two of Nintendo's most popular and recognizable characters. Donkey Kong is one of the most important titles from the Golden Age of Video Arcade Games, and is one of the most popular arcade games of all time.

Back then there were few greater feelings than walking into an arcade and hearing all of these sounds.

[@HorrorMonster4406]

Almost 40 years later, and the theme sends chills down my spine.

40 anniversary of donkey kong

[@brianwalters7855]

Chills of good old nostalgia. I always thought the point sound was similar to Woody Woodpecker's laugh. 🤭

You know which one does? Galaga.

I played this game 40 years ago……I can’t believe I’m 40 years older now.

[@DonaldMcRoland]

now if that isn't the carpenter Jumpman!

[@MAGNUM05]

This game is 40 years old this month!

[@jonahdengler3858]

I was never good at this game very much before. It’s just really annoying that you have to deal with jumping over barrels and fireballs. They’re quite tough to avoid, honestly.

[@chengfu7063]

Back when Mario was called jump man before he became the video game legend he is now better times then especially better than today's America you could actually live

Everybody sucked at this round. You’re always getting shit by that jumping thing and you’re always falling off elevators and one fall ends your life and once u get a game over but it’s back to square one

Until you ran out of 4 lives. Then you were dead.

[@adroneslife8453]

In the game super smash bros, there's a hammer weapon, I'm pretty sure the hammer idea is from this game. Interesting...

[@rasalghul84]

Lol, these millennials

[@videostak]

it is! and the golden hammer also in smash bros comes from another nintendo game, wrecking crew!

Are you guys okay with people using your game footage in their own videos, as long as you're credited?

[@garchiveHD]

Yeap, you're welcome to use anything you need.

[@SlickFrame]

@@garchiveHD Thank you! You'll see some footage of this used in the next episode of Ask Mario ;D

[@alejandroanguiano6383]

This feels kind of like a king kong video game, but that game is just Donkey kong

[@KnickKnack07]

This is obviously not the US version of the game since they changed it to leave the pie factory level for later.

[@shaneinkster4775]

1:07 how come they didn’t put this one level in the NES issue?

[@dootuss83]

Because ROM cartridges at that time didn't have enough memory.
