Last night I saw what I would nominate at the best spinoff video game
of this year. Unlike the "Ms. Pacman" spinoff of "Pacman" (which was just
a changed layout and slightly different monsters), this new game "Donkey
Kong Junior" has completely reversed the plot-line. This time, the victim
is the Gorilla (in a cage) and the heavy is the man in the overralls. The
player runs the Gorilla's kid (in diapers) who is after a key to release
his papa....

The graphics are just as good (if not better) then the original Donkey Kong,
and the motif is extremely clever.

Here in Portland, it was at the Beaverton Pizza-Time theatre, and was brought
in yesterday afternoon. (I am not sure if that particular restaurant
chain has spread to the East coast of the states, or up to Canada - it
is kind of like a poor man's Disneyland that sells extremely bad food
at inflated prices, and has more video-games than you have ever seen in
your life.)
