One of the best Gameboy Games ever.
This game alone seems to just scream classy. Donkey Kong stars Mario as a construction worker (probably before he got his degree in err...plumbing and turtle smashing) out to save a lovely girl. DK has taken her from our... Read Full Review

What Gamespot Users have to say about Donkey Kong (1994)

It's not like the Acrade version, it's a puzzle game!
To say I have a history of Donkey Kong is more than enough. I played this game quite a lot during my childhood but I never could beat it. I don’t know what it was exactly, the game didn’t save properly; somet... Read Full Review

The game is Donkey Kong like you never seen it before!
Here it is a true version of the great arcade game Donkey Kong! This game seems to have more of a story then the arcade one did, and a bunch more levels instead of playing the same thing over and over. The game is simple... Read Full Review

The original Donkey Kong on the Game Boy may have been overlooked due to Donkey Kong Land, but it's still fun.
I remember playing this game as a kid, all those frustrating but ultimately rewarding hours spent taking down Donkey Kong. That's right, just like in the classic, you play as Mario and have to save some...woman, not Prin... Read Full Review

At first sight DK looks like a cheap remake but if you give it 15 minutes you'll see how innovative it is.
The Good: Many new concepts that were used in classic games later; a great tribute to old classic games; a good mix of that two "goods". The Bad: Colors in SGB sometimes bother more than help; music is repetitive most... Read Full Review

Annoying difficulty and frustrating puzzles don't affect this platformer's addicting charm.
Nintendo created the outstanding arcade game Donkey Kong game in 1981, and today, the big monkey is one of the most popular video game characters ever. One of his gems was the 1994 version of the original arcade hit. If ... Read Full Review

Wow! I didn't expect a remake of a classic to be this good!
Nintendo did a really good job at expanding this game into a 9 world adventure. Especially having Mario face the likes of both Donkey Kong and Jr. with both parties having a few new tricks up their sleaves! My breakdo... Read Full Review
