Summary
Classic NES Series: Donkey Kong is a port of the NES version of the famous arcade game. In Donkey Kong, Jumpman must rescue a damsel in distress, Lady, from a giant ape named Donkey Kong. The hero and ape later became two of Nintendo's most popular characters. The game is divided into three different one-screen stages: 25m, 75m and 100m. The original arcade game had four stages, but the NES version, which this port is based on, lacks the 50m stage.
