About this product

Product Information

Enjoy a true retro classic with "Donkey Kong" for Atari with all of its original fun and excitement. Released by Nintendo in 1981, the game features just a few characters. The main character in "Donkey Kong" is Mario. This is the first appearance of the plumber who would later spawn the Super Mario Brothers video games. A platform-style video game, "Donkey Kong" for the Atari asks you to save a damsel in distress. Donkey Kong himself, a large gorilla creature, appears at the top of the screen. The original version of the Atari "Donkey Kong" game features ledges and ladders. As you work your way across the level, you need to climb up those ladders. Mario must reach Donkey Kong and hit him with his hammer before time runs out. Nintendo designed Kong to throw things at you to stop your progress. "Donkey Kong" for the Atari was one of the first games to include multiple levels.As you play this "Donkey Kong" game on your Atari console, you'll find that the difficulty increases. The first levels are easy enough for new players and even young children to pass. Once you reach the higher levels, though, the game becomes much more challenging. Donkey Kong will hurl more obstacles at you and throw those things faster. You receive points in the game based on your overall performance. Destroying obstacles with your hammer, jumping, and reaching the top all award you additional points. The game also includes some bonus points and levels. You start out this classic Nintendo video game with three lives. When you score 7,000 points, the game awards you a bonus. You can score even more points from the objects that Mario collects within the game. Each purse, umbrella, and hat that you grab is worth more points. Atari and Nintendo designed these games with four stages or levels. Just when you think you reached Donkey Kong, he'll jump and climb to a higher level. Once you finish the first three stages, you'll reach the boss battle. In the final stage of "Donkey Kong" for the Atari, the game asks you to search for rivets. This is similar to the arcade version. Mario must locate and remove eight rivets in the platforms. This will cause Donkey Kong to fall. You'll not only win the game but also save the princess. The popularity of "Donkey Kong" for the Atari led to Nintendo later using Mario in other games. Based on the original games found in an arcade, this Atari game offers hours of fun. Designed for use on the Atari 2600, this cartridge lets you save your file and continue in the future. It's great for collectors of vintage video games from Nintendo and Atari.

I need to stick a stack of paper underneath the cartridge slot to load the game and play it. I know it's the cartridge as I have a brand new Atari 260

Atari 2600 Classic
As a kid, I loved this game on the arcade. My brother and I use to travel down to the local arcade and play this hit, quarters in hand. As I got older, I started to look into finding the arcade original port. I loved the Atari 2600 version of this game, but I feel it wasn't the best version of this game at the time for the home console. The Atari 400/800 had a solid port of this game. That's why I'm giving it a 4 and not a 5. I think the creators could of sent a little more time on this version before releasing to the public. A great classic for the Atari 2600 and a definite buy for people looking for a retro experience from the pass.

Donkey Kong's A Classic!
I bought this game because my family had it when I was a teenager. It was cool to play this at home and not waste quarters on the machine. Just to relive old memmories either makes me feel good or wonder what the heck I was thinking?! This game teeder todders between the two feelings. The game only has two different levels that gets harder and harder as you pass each set. There's not a lot of excitement in Donkey Kong, but none the less, the game is a classic and no Atari 2600 system should be without one. The same goes for Combat, Pac-Man, Asteroids and so on. My kids enjoy it and that's the main thing. It's a lot nicer to play than most of those mind corrupting zombie, blood splattering, shooting games that are out there now-a-days.
