Kong is an arcade game released by Nintendo in 1981. It 🍇 is an early example of the
platform game genre, as the gameplay focuses on maneuvering the main character across a
🍇 series of platforms while dodging and jumping over obstacles. In the game, Jumpman
(since renamed Mario) must rescue a damsel 🍇 in distress, Lady (now named Pauline), from
a giant ape named Donkey Kong (who would later become Cranky Kong). The 🍇 hero and ape
later became two of Nintendo's most popular and recognizable characters. Donkey Kong is
one of the most 🍇 important titles from the Golden Age of Video Arcade Games, and became
one of the most popular arcade games of 🍇 all time.
Donkey Kong is one of the earliest
examples of the platform game genre; it is sometimes said to be 🍇 the first platform
game, although it was preceded by Space Panic. In contrast to Space Panic, however,
Donkey Kong was 🍇 the first platform game to feature jumping, introducing the need to
jump between gaps and over obstacles or approaching enemies, 🍇 setting the template for
the platform genre. Competitive video gamers and referees stress the game's high level
of difficulty compared 🍇 to other classic arcade games. Winning the game requires
patience and the ability to accurately time Jumpman's ascent. In addition 🍇 to presenting
the goal of saving the Lady, the game also gives the player a score. Points are awarded
for 🍇 finishing screens; leaping over obstacles; destroying objects with a hammer
power-up; collecting items such as hats, parasols, and purses (apparently 🍇 belonging to
the Lady/Pauline); and completing other tasks. The player typically receives three
lives with a bonus awarded for the 🍇 first 7,000 points, although this can be modified
via the game's built in DIP switches. More details about this game 🍇 can be found on
