blowhole-boogie:
I don’t know if it was Donkey Kong or Donkey Kong Jr.,but this was definitely the first I’ve played (as far as i can remember). If it wasn’t this, It was DuckTales or Base Wars.
This totally blew my friggin’ mind when I was a kid. Actually, kid is an odd term because I was very, very young. For some reason, it really clicked with me. All the sounds of the game are still implanted into my mind, because I spent a lot of time playing it when my parents left me alone. I was probably younger than 3, and my father had gotten an NES from a garage sale. It came with 2 controllers, a zapper, 30 games, and he got it all for like $30. This was around 1992/1993, so the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis were really popular, and my parents didn’t want to spend money on a brand new system. My father bought it because he wanted to try out gaming on something other than a PC, and my mother just wanted to play Tetris.
Either way, it’s a classic, and you gotta be crazy not to love Donkey Kong / Donkey Kong Jr.
