About Donkey Kong Jr.

Donkey Kong Jr. was one of the launch games for the Famicom/NES release in Japan. An excellent arcade conversion, especially considering the release date of 1983. The game is a little improvement of the original Donkey Kong gameplay, although the concept stays basically the same with the only difference that now Mario is the bad guy (kind of) and Junior Kong wants to rescue his father. All in all a good game for its time and surely a classic, though very limited when compared to later platform games from the post 'Super Mario Bros' era.
