Mario the savior, sorta. Donkey Kong for the NES is an obvious classic. An obvious classic I didn't really play much. At a younger age, I really couldn't get the timing down for jumping. As I have gotten older and my hand eye coordination has increased, not much has changed. I was able to proceed through the levels better than my youth, and it was more enjoyable, but not really in my top list to play again.

Game Info:
Donkey Kong for NES is a classic arcade platformer game developed and published by Nintendo in 1981. The game features the character of Mario (originally known as Jumpman) as he tries to rescue his girlfriend, Pauline, from the clutches of the titular gorilla, Donkey Kong.

The game is divided into four stages, each with its own unique layout and challenges. In the first stage, Mario must climb ladders and jump over barrels thrown by Donkey Kong to reach Pauline at the top. The second stage takes place on a series of platforms where Mario must jump over or smash through obstacles to progress. The third stage is a maze-like series of elevators and ramps, while the final stage takes place on a girder structure where Mario must avoid fireballs thrown by Donkey Kong while removing bolts to make the structure collapse.

Donkey Kong was a groundbreaking game in many ways, introducing many of the gameplay mechanics and tropes that would become staples of the platformer genre. It was also one of the first games to feature a narrative and distinctive characters with personalities.

Donkey Kong received critical acclaim upon release and is remembered as one of the greatest video games of all time. It has been ported to numerous consoles and platforms over the years and has spawned many sequels and spinoffs.
