Donkey Kong	Coleco	1982	platformer		Intellivision
Donkey Kong	Coleco	1982	platformer	NO, It was created by Nintendo, who authorized Coleco to make reproductions under its license, in an entire legal framework that is absolutely registered, which is why Coleco always presented its version of Donkey Kong, under the Nintendo license. It can be argued who manufactured the catridge, or ported the programming from one system to another, but in terms of creation and development, it is purely Nintendo's. "The difference is that manufacturing is more repetitive steps to have some product over and over again. Software Development is more about creating things almost new, each product is different for each custome"*The little man that you control in-game was originally named Jumpman and was latter renamed to the Mario that you know today. Mario was also a carpenter and latter changed jobs to a plummer.[media=youtube]nI9WwdVb-_A[/media] [126]* [48]* [48]*There are 16K and 24K Digital Data Pack tape versions. Also available on 5¼ disk.

Donkey Kong	Atari	1983	platformer	Released in the arcades in 1981, Donkey Kong was not only Nintendo's first real smash hit for the company but marked the introduction of two of their most popular mascots: Mario (originally "Jumpman") and Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong is a platform-action game that has Mario scale four different industrial-themed levels (construction zone, cement factory, an elevator-themed level, and removing rivets from girders) in an attempt to save the damsel in distress, Pauline, from the big ape before the timer runs out. Once the rivets are removed from the final level, Donkey Kong falls, and the two lovers are reunited. From there, the levels start over at a higher difficulty. Along the way, Mario must dodge a constant stream of barrels, "living" fireballs, and spring-weights. Although not as powerful as in other future games, Mario can find a hammer which allows him to destroy the barrels and fireballs for a limited amount of time. Additionally, Mario can also find Pauline's hat, purse, and umbrella for additional bonus points. Donkey Kong is also notable for being one of the first complete narratives in video game form, told through simplistic cut scenes that advance the story. It should also be noted that in many conversions of the original coin-op game for early 1980's consoles and computer systems, Donkey Kong only used two or three of the original levels, with the cement factory most often omitted.*[media=youtube]rmypbmT3TkM[/media]*RX8031 16k cartridge. 3 common variations of this game exist.

Donkey Kong	Nintendo (Nintendo EAD)	1983	platformer	[media=youtube]https://youtu.be/F1kcC4gxBFg[/media]* [142]* [22]* [52]One of the launch games for the Famicom/NES system in Japan. Considering the game's release date, it features great graphics and solid gameplay, which comes close to its arcade counterpart. The NES version only features three levels, instead of four as in the arcade version. Surely this game is a classic, although in my personal opinion the game and its three short levels become boring quite soon and doesn't reach the status of later games in which a certain plumber named Mario made his reappearance.**Donkey Kong has kidnapped Pauline, and it is up to Mario, the fearless carpenter, to come to her rescue. Throwing fate to the wind, Mario tries desperately to climb the labyrinth of structural beams from the top of which Donkey Kong taunts him. Help our hero ascend the metal structure by dodging an assortment of fireballs, steel beams, and exploding barrels the angry ape hurls at him. Prepare yourself for a never-ending adventure as Donkey Kong takes Pauline away to the next level every time Mario gets to the top. Based on the arcade game of the same name, this classic will keep hardcore and casual gamers entertained for hours.	NES

A regular version with box and manual was never available. You could order an extra foldout manual though. The game of course is identical to the Famicom version which appeared five years earlier in 1983.

Donkey Kong	Nintendo;Falcon (Nintendo)	1981	platformer	Crazy Kong - Part II is not a bootleg of "Donkey Kong"!! Falcon DID have a license from Nintendo, but it was NOT for the US. Crazy Kong - Part II was supposed to be for sale outside the US (South America, Europe, etc.), but the lag in production of arcade DK's by Nintendo for a 3 month period during 1981-82 made demand for any DK type game go through the roof. At this time, Nintendo of America was moving from NY-NJ to Redmond WA and there was a 4 month backlog on orders. This opened the door for the illegal Crazy Kongs to fill the demand. Approximately 20,000 Crazy Kong were distributed illegally in the U.S. The main difference between Crazy Kong and "Donkey Kong" is the sound, and color capabilities. Crazy Kong ran on hardware that had the same processor as "Donkey Kong", but its video capabilities were lacking, and it had a totally different sound chip. Basically what all this means is that Crazy Kong had terrible sound, and some definite strangeness in the color area. The background music is missing entirely, and most of the sound effects have been changed. For example, in Crazy Kong, Mario makes a 'Hiya!' sound when he jumps, instead of the 'Boing!' that he makes in "Donkey Kong". The graphics use slightly different colors, which change from level to level. The Kong animations are also different, and often do not match up with the in game action. There are also mild changes in gameplay. Kong doesn't toss out nearly as many barrels, and there are other mild changes such as gaps in platforms that were not in the original, and the manner in which the elevators work has changed as well. There were lots of different Crazy Kong cabinets. The most common one was similar in design to the "Donkey Kong" cabinet, but the artwork was more realistic, and the monitor bezel had a circular clear area, as opposed to the rectangle that most games had. Crazy Kong could also be found in cocktail format. These were usually conversions, and were only decorated with an instruction card.*[media=youtube]aSsyM2-70Nk[/media]Many official instruction exists: 1. Insert coin (s). 2. Select one or two players. 3. Controller moves Jumpman in 4 directions. 4. Jump button makes Jumpman jump. 5. If Jumpman reaches top, Donkey Kong takes the lady higher up, and structure changes shape. 6. When a certain structures have been cleared, Jumpman saves the lady. This one is quote silly, as the controlled character sounds like the Kong instead of Jumpman (Mario) - Rescue the lady by using the control lever! - Drive the Kong into upper corner by clearing each difficult situation in limited time. - You can get points when the Donkey jumps. - When extra score is reached, you will have another man. - If you finish early, the remaining time will be added as an extra bonus points.The little man that you control in-game was originally named Jumpman and was latter renamed to the Mario that you know today. Mario was also a carpenter and latter changed jobs to a plummer. [Airhead91]*First game designed by Shigeru Miyamoto, and Nintendo's first success. A masterpiece derived from Space Panic's platform ideas, this game also introduced Mario to the gaming scene (although he was originally known as Jumpman). Biggest game of 1981.	Arcade

Donkey Kong Jr.	Nintendo (Nintendo EAD)	1982	platformer Cartoon	Mario has kidnapped Junior's Papa! Donkey Kong Jr. was originally released in the arcades in 1982 as a sequel to Donkey Kong. In this game, Mario plays the antagonist, finally having captured Donkey Kong, and has put the ape in a locked cage. As Donkey Kong Jr., players will have to make their way through four different levels (Vines, Springboard, Chains and Mario's Hideout) in an attempt to find keys to free the little monkey's father. Along the way, Mario will send out Snapjaws, swooping purple birds, and electric sparks in an attempt to stop Junior. Junior can defend himself by dropping fruit found around the levels on the heads of his foes. The more foes a piece of fruit hits in a falling sequence, the higher bonus points can be scored. Junior can also avoid enemies more easily by grabbing hold of two chains or vines at a time to climb away faster, or by jumping over his foes. However, any long fall or falling into the water on certain levels will mean the loss of a life for Junior. In the final cut scene, Junior will free Donkey Kong and both will escape after giving Mario the boot. Once all four levels are cleared, the game levels will start over at a higher difficulty. Like the original Donkey Kong, the earlier 1980's console versions do not have all of the levels and animations from the arcade.	Arcade

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.
