Donkey Kong Jr 

 

Donkey Kong Jr takes the formula from the original Donkey Kong and shakes it up. This time Mario is the bad guy, and one of the few games I can remember him being the bad guy. He has captured Donkey Kong. As Donkey Kong Jr it is your duty to traverse through the four levels to save him.

After beating all four levels in Donkey Kong Jr the game will recycle at the first level. The difficulty is increased. This happens each time you beat the four levels. Donkey Kong Jr is not very costly however we do not get much. And this game has been released in the past on multiple other and different systems - including the arcade. If you previously purchased it on the NES, why pay again for the same game on the Nintendo 3DS?

Graphically Donkey Kong Jr is definitely showing its age. This would not be much of a problem except for certain glitches and lag. I lost track of how many times I died thanks to that monkey not moving like I told him to do. Or because he died by falling down from one platform to the one just below it. This is not a forgiving game.

Donkey Kong Jr is a piece of history that long time fans will enjoy. It shows us some of the roots of the video game industry. Donkey Kong Jr helped me understand where the industry has made major strides over the decades.
