Featured review
Donkey Kong (1981) Classic, simple and amazing
The game that gave rise to our great pop culture character, Mario Bros. It's a simple, short and very old game and maybe all that makes this game so cool. It is not an excellent or super well developed game like recent games, but that is due to the time the game was created, where games were much simpler compared to the most recent ones. Even though it's very basic, the game still manages to be a lot of fun and create remarkable characters that will come back later and become the greatest characters in games. Many people will be prejudiced against it for being from 1981, but it, in its own way, is a very beautiful game. And certainly what draws the most attention in this game are the sound effects that are very striking and impressive. If you have the opportunity to play, please play. This, like it or not, is one of the greatest milestones in video game history.
