Donkey Kong was a game developed by
Nintendo and produced in 1981. One cool thing that I have learned about this game is that it opened doors for a character "Jump-man" who we now know as
Mario. The objective of
Donkey Kong is to move around a platforms while dodging obstacles one being barrels so
Mario or Jump-man can save his damsel in distress. Even though
Mario is the character you move around with it is called
Donkey Kong because you must face the huge beast ape
Donkey Kong in order to save your lady friend. This game was almost an immediate hit with
Donkey Kong as well as Mario being featured on a variety of different media sources like TV shows, Cereal Boxes, and many more places. But like most sparks of fame some people want a part of it those people were
Universal Studios who assumed
Nintendo violated the trademark of there movie
King Kong luckily they were ruled incorrect thus
Donkey Kong's stardom was once again fulfilled.I personally think
Donkey Kong opened
the doors for
Nintendo's fame and has come out with a variety of versions for many different gaming systems since 1981 and hopefully will continue to be a great success.
