Because I'd be totally cool with that.This is a game about saving a girl from a monkey at a construction site. Also, there's barrels. That's all I'm gon...

Still great, but get the Donkey Kong Classics cart. 0
The ShortPros- Faithful port to the arcade classic- Challenging and fun run for points, even to this day- Everybody's seen this game before- Start of Mario's (and Donkey Kong's) careersCons- NES version is missing a level from the arcade version- It's also missing the awesome opening movie, as well as the sense of progression (height) between levels- Jumping and climbing controls seem a bit archaic in this day and age- Original cartridge had no battery save for scoresA scene that every game shou...
