I had only ever played this game on the bigger arcade versions before now. This game plays exactly like the arcade version. It was so much fun. It brings back allot of memories for me. It one of them games that are timeless. No matter how much you play it, it never gets old or boring. Im so happy i bought this game.

What can you say, it's the original Donkey Kong. Still fun after all these years. Plus this has Donkey KOng JR. as well. Both are fairly easy to beat by today's standards. Actually Very easy. I bought it for the nostalgia of it. It's a classic.

this was among my favorites back in the day at the arcade, and these conversions are fairly accurate. A major flaw in this version of Donkey Kong, however, is that the pie level is not included at all! You get the first pink/barrel level, the blue flame/girder level, and the jumping spring level. As far as I can tell, no matter how well you do or how far you progress, the pie level is never reached. Bummer, really, as getting to the pie level was an extra incentive that kept you going.

It is pretty cool because there are two games on it of Donkey Kong Jr. and the cartridge works great!

This game is great! It has 2 of my favorite Donkey Kong games in 1 cartridge. When I got this off of Amazon, I cleaned the cartridge out with rubbing alcohol and q-tips. I learned this trick off the internet. When I got done cleaning it, it played perfectly! Both of the games are fun to play especially if you have a Game Genie. I have a Game Genie so I got far on both these games easily. My advice if you get NES games off the internet, or at a store: Always clean your games out with alcohol and q-tips EVEN if the game looks clean. Trust me it will play like new.

I could not get the game to work. The first several times I tried all that was on the screen was all green! The last time I tried it had graphics that you couldn't see Donkey Kong or Mario! When I first played it, I was at an arcade and it was by far the best game I played. Donkey Kong is one of the best video game charecters of all time. However the cartridge for the NES is a great disapointment! If I were you I would never get this game from this seller. I hate it!

I think you'll find a fair deal here. Donkey Kong Classics contains Donkey Kong and its sequel, Donkey Kong Jr.

Donkey Kong is that classic game you'd most likely play as much as Pac-Man in your local video arcade. You play as Mario as he climbs and jumps over barrels to save Pauline from the big ape.

Donkey Kong Jr has the ape trapped in a cage by Mario (Surprised? I bet you are). As his son, you must climb ropes, and kill Klap Traps to save your father.

The package rounds up pretty nicely on the NES.

Game came in condition mentioned in review and my video game freak boyfriend is excited and has been playing it constantly. Awesome!

Two great games, even if they're two very short games. I'm talking about 3 levels (not 4) of Donkey Kong can be beat in under 10 minutes. Same with Donkey Kong Jr.

Both of these games are classic, with Donkey Kong, you play as Jumpman (Mario). The first level you jump barrels as Donkey Kong rolls them down at you. Very simple to play. The second level you must jump from platform to platform avoiding things like flames. The third level you need to take down the beast by running across layers back and forth.

Donkey Kong Jr. puts a different spin on things. Mario has captured Donkey Kong, and as Jr, you must go from vine to vine to rescue him. The vine climbing technique is a total change from the original Donkey Kong gameplay. Its a very nice sequil.

Both games are great, G-rated fun for any age.

This two game combo was just two of the games my mind remembers fondly. I used to get so mad at the Donkey kong as I played MArio, who is trying to avoid fire, barrels and other stuff while saving his princess peach lady fair. I always stuck with Donkey Kong Junior, playing it over and over. Now, I'm all grown up, and glad I bought it. My own neice laughed as I died miserably as I attemped to avoic and jump over those dang, tricky barrels. But soon, I conquered it... It was very short.

Don't get me wrong, it was fun! I love the game, and don't regrett buying it for a second. I know my dad will be happy too once he opens it on Christmas morning. But, it was just short. I don't remember it being that short. That's why it only got a three star rating. If the game was longer, I would have rated it five. I do highly recomend this game to anyone looking for a short but fun game to play over and over. It's not hard and comlicated as some of the other NES games, but still enjoyable. Just like the title suggests, it's a classic that you would want to have to play on a boring day.
