Published by Nintendo in 1981, this DOS port brings the legendary action platformer Donkey Kong to home computers. You control Mario as he scales a perilous construction site to rescue Pauline from a giant ape, relying on careful timing and precise jumps to survive.
How to play
The goal of each level is to reach Pauline at the top of the screen before the bonus timer runs out by navigating girders, climbing ladders, and avoiding barrels. Control your character using the standard MS-DOS keyboard mapping or a connected gamepad. For fullscreen play, press Right Alt + Enter.
Tips
- Grab the hammer: Grabbing a hammer lets you smash barrels for points and clear your path, but remember that you cannot climb ladders while holding it.
- Watch the fire enemies: On the rivet and elevator stages, fire enemies move erratically and can climb ladders. Keep your distance and wait for a safe opening before proceeding.
