Donkey Kong Was Fantastic Arcade Game

Donkey Kong was one of the earliest hit video games in the arcades, and deservedly so. With all its jumping and climbing action, it’s no wonder it was such a huge game for it’s time. And it’s no wonder it’s still a favorite game of many today, from older retro game players to younger players.

In the earliest days of the 1980s, the video game world was still reeling from the success of such monster hits as Space Invaders and Pac-Man. Those two games were the first gigantic arcade games on the market, and they helped create the path of future video games for the next decade (or even longer).

What would the next hit arcade game be? Would there be another hit arcade game?

The answer was yes. And that game would be Donkey Kong.
