Donkey Kong NES Playthrough (6 Loops)
0The classic Donkey Kong arcade game. It's about time I got around to playing it for real, at least the NES version that is. While missing a stage and some other features such as cutscenes, I think this version of the game is pretty good. I was initially worried, because I had tried playing this game several times before without much luck. It just goes to show that you really need to sit down and figure the game out in order to really enjoy it.
At first I was worried that the RNG for the Barrels and Fireballs would be too random and you would be put into situations where there is no way to escape. Luckily, that rarely happens. The game does a good job at making sure there's some opening somewhere. You just have to find it. What almost broke me was the Springs. At first I though it was impossible to beat the 75m stage on Loop 3 onwards because they moved so fast. However, I eventually discovered a strategy that works almost every time to get past them.
This is also the first of the arcade style games I recorded, so I had to figure out what constitutes a "full" playthrough of one. After all, these games were meant to go on forever until you ran out of lives and just keep getting harder and harder each loop. I decided that I would go as far as I could. After several attempts, 75m on Loop 7 was the furthest I could make it, so that is where I'm going to leave this game.
