Comments: If you haven't heard of this classic, where have you been? This is NES fun at its best. While frustrating and repetitive to some, this game is greatness to old-school gamers. The object is simple. The princess has been kidnapped and put in a cage by none other than the original bad-boy Donkey Kong. Mario starts at the bottom of a series of broken rafters(?). Donkey Kong throws barrels from his perch in a feeble attempt to stop Mario. Weapons like hammers are much appreciated in destroying the barrels; without one Mario has to jump over them. Make sure the barrels don't get to the bottom--they explode into the oil barrel and the insuing jumping flames chase Mario.
