Donkey Kong on Game Boy is a good example of a remake that expands on the original design in a cool way 0

A Game Boy classic now for cheap. 0
The rough streets of "BIG CITY."The original Donkey Kong arcade game might not seem like such an easy title to update at first. After all, most arcade games are based on high scores and extreme repetitiveness. In addition, you might think that there is only so much mileage that a game could get out of the original's "climb to the top of a stage while avoiding obstacles" format while trying to pad it out as a full package. With Donkey Kong '94 though, Nintendo managed to change things up by turni...
