Donkey Kong (c) 1981 Nintendo.

Donkey Kong is a legendary arcade platform game in which the player takes on the role of "Jumpman" - who would later be renamed "Mario" and would go on to become Nintendo's mascot and a gaming legend - who must battle his way to the top of each level to rescue his beloved Pauline; who has been kidnapped by the evil giant ape, Donkey Kong.

Jumpman is controlled with a joystick and single JUMP button and must avoid the rolling barrels thrown by Donkey Kong, as well as other enemies, including fireballs, cement tubs and bouncing rivits. Screens are negotiated with the use of ladders, ramps, conveyor belts and elevators.

For additional points, players can collect umbrellas, hats, purses and other bonus items that Pauline has dropped on her way to the top of the building. Jumpman can also grab a hammer to smash barrels, beams, fireballs, cement tubs and firefoxes which earn additional bonus points. The hammer can only be used for a limited time, however, and jumping and climbing ladders is not possible while in possession of the hammer.

On the Ramp, Elevator and Conveyor Belt stages, whenever Jumpman reaches Pauline, Donkey Kong will grab her and carry her off to the next level. On the final Rivet stage, however, Jumpman must remove all the rivets on each and every floor by running or jumping over them. After all rivets are removed, Donkey Kong will fall head first onto a stack of girders and be knocked out and Jumpman and Pauline are finally reunited.

The game then starts over again with an increased level of difficulty.
