The arcade looks brutally hard though judging from the documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. Not brutal but yeah, definitely made to eat your quarters. The GB one looks easier in comparison - but then, it's made to be played for much longer sessions. Entirely accurate. The arcade version takes faster reflexes, but the Game Boy version has these great puzzles that are fun to figure out and try to complete for faster times. |

This game came to mind after playing Zelda. I was trying to think of other games that are perfect in almost every aspect of the game design.
Surprisingly many of the games that came to mind that always felt perfect to me were in the first black and white Game Boy, Tetris, Mario Golf, Dr. Mario, and of course Donkey Kong, among many others.
We definitely got some of the best games ever in that thing, like for example the Super Mario Land games, the Kirby Dream Curse games, Kid Icarus, the Zelda Oracle games, and for a lot of people the first Pokémon games as well.
Sure there are other excellent games in the arcades like Ms. Pac-Man, the original Mario Bros. and many more that are perfect when it comes to game design. But Donkey Kong on the Game Boy is one of those games that when you play it the perfection blows right on your face.
This review was very interesting to me for that reason. I asked myself how funny it will be when Mark gets his hands on this game as most people are not ready for that kind of shock.
It didn't dissapoint, I was laughing out loud when he started comparing it to the Genesis games he loves so much, to the point that he end up saying this game is 99.9% better than anything releasing today, hahahaha. It was hilarious because that was exactly what I was expecting to happen since Mark has a very good eye when it comes to these things.
