All About Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong
Developed by the gaming giant Nintendo in the 1980s, Donkey Kong was one of the first multi-screen arcade games. Since its release, it has been one of the most famous video games of all-time. It can be termed as the basis for the platform genre of video games. The game of Donkey Kong was developed by Shigeru Miyamoto along with Gunpei Yokoi. The game maneuvers the main character over many obstacles while crossing a series of platforms. The later versions took this platform as the base, and since then have developed many more such games.
The Game
The game of Donkey Kong involves the rescue of a captured girl who has been captured by a hideous monkey (Kong here). The player has to pass through moving steel bars and flying barrels depicting a setting of industrial landscaping. An outright classic game, Donkey Kong is a complete entertainer and can keep one hooked for long hours.
How To Play
The player’s motive is to rescue the girl from the clutches of Donkey Kong who has captured the beautiful girl. For this the player has to face many obstacles by the way of flying barrels and steel bars. Also on the way of rescue, the player has to overcome many obstacles and destroy objects with a hammer power-up. There is the additional need to collect items like hats, purses and parasols that presumably belong to the girl. The player is not only awarded points for the tasks completed but is also awarded with bonus lives and points.
Game Control And Points
There are two variations of the game; A and B. The level A is for beginners while the level B is for the pros and requires additional technique, coordination and timing. The points of the game can be scored at various levels. Initially when the player crosses the girders he gets a point. On reaching the second girder, there are 2 points for each barrel crossed. Similarly cutting the wire which holds the girder on which Donkey Kong is standing, earns 20 points. However, the time elapsed is also taken into consideration and more time taken means lesser points earned. So this pushes the player to play the game fast and earn as many points. The earlier versions of the game were played on machines and joysticks were used to control the characters. Now with online gaming available, this option has been transferred to the keys on the keyboard.
A Brief Overview
With Donkey Kong, Nintendo was able to set itself on the western and more precisely the American arcade scene. Earlier Nintendo had been eluded by these markets and hence when it became successful they quickly set up their headquarters in America. As an instant hit, Donkey Kong remained at the number two slot in the popularity charts after Pac-man. Since its inception in 1981, there have been many new versions of the game being developed. The later versions have more stages in the game and the point system varies accordingly.
Overall, Donkey Kong is the original game that inspired many to develop platform games and its various versions have ruled the arcade scene, with Mario being the central character.
