Donkey Kong (Game Boy, 1994)

I absolutely love this game. I used to play it when I was little. I bought it so that I would have something to do while I was in the hospital and on maternity leave.

This game is fantasitic!!! omce you play it you cant stop and is very exciting, especially for adults my age when we only had games like this back then.

The Donkey Kong game for Gameboy is a bit different than I thought it would be. I was thinking that it would be just like the old arcade version with the very simple graphics and endless jumping of barrels (which never gets old by the way) but I was in for a surprise. This DK game starts off the first level like the first level of the original, but soon it is apparent that the game is a lot different. The levels get to the point of being about grabbing keys and unlocking doors to get to the next level and (hopefully) catch DK who has kidnapped Peach. The levels are just interactive puzzles where you must use your intellect to devise a plan to capture the key for the next level. After about 4 levels are completed you get to face DK and the various objects he will be throwing at you (usually barrels).

This game is a great thing to have around when you acquire some leisure time. It's no Zelda- so you likely won't feel compelled to complete it all in one sitting, but it will give you hours of fun that fits people of all ages. I would say anyone from 8 to 80 will enjoy this classic for the Gameboy.

My honest advice- buy this bad boy.

I paid all of $0.50 for a used Game Boy Color (bad speaker, but sound works w/headphones) at a yard sale, so I'm happy to see I can get games for it cheaply as well. This DK game is both fun and challenging, with a ton of levels. Pretty innovative little tricks built in by the programmers on each level, which I have to discover myself as I don't have the manual. I don't think this game brings out the color features of the Game Boy Color, as the "color" is mostly shades of brownish, but it doesn't affect game play any. Pick this up for a good price, and its quite a bit of fun!

It is an old game but I love it. I was playing this game since I was 10 and know I am 25 imagine that. 15 years later I keep loving it. I passed now to my son due that I like to pass costumes and he also loves it. Hopefully these will still be around for my grandkids.

The game is very fun and works great. it's almost like new and the condition reflects this. it has short but fun levels in it and it takes a little bit of skill to play as you get into it. it is pretty challenging for a game from the eighties.

Donkey Kong is a very interestingly fun game. I first got this game back in 1996 along with the clear game boy pocket. When i bought it off of eBay, it was in very good condition. this game brings back so many memories. I remember being 12 years old living at my grandmothers house, and getting it for Christmas.

I got this game for $7.25 beats gamestop's price of $22. This is a fun classic game from back in the day.

This Game is excellent if you like old school & puzzle games. It's kind of like the prequel to Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Worth every penny!

This game was purchased to replace an older one - it is an awesome game!! Loads of fun for all ages. A great way to keep reflexes sharp!!

simple the best, i had this game fifteen yeas ago, but someone stole from me, now i have the game and i just went back in the days.

Both games were shipped in excellent condition and very fast. They were
purchased for my grand-daughter and she loves them. She is l0 yrs. old
and still enjoys the hand-held gameboy.

it made mt little girl happy. it was for her birthday. she plays with it alot. even her mom plays with it at times. at this time i am looking for more games to add to her collection but i am not sure what ones i am going to get her

I bought this game because I have heard from several people that it's a fun game, and they were right.
With around 100 levels, great graphics, and solid gameplay, it's an amazing game.
There's nothing I don't like in this game, everything is great.

If you liked the arcade game Donkey Kong, then this game is a must-own.

Game is fun and easy for my boy. was in fair shape. fun for all ages!! I bought it cuz the price was right.

I bought this gameboy Donkey Kong for a christmas present and was very happy with it. It is an older video game but very exciting still. It is a great puzzle game. It has 100 levels of fun and a puzzle game never gets old.

i used to have the game and enjoyed it. i dont know what i did with it . I decided i wanted another one.

I have always loved old video games -- probably because I grew up at the exact time of the NES and video arcade boom during the early 80's -- so it goes without saying that Donkey Kong is a favorite of mine. Recently, I have been trying to expand my collection of classic console games, and I decided to hunt down this "re-imagining" of Donkey Kong.

I say "re-imagining" because it is essentially nothing like the original game. This game is a platform puzzle game, and offers over 100 levels of Mario and Donkey Kong battling it out over Paulina (from the original). It requires platforming skill (as in the original Mario games) along with some mastering of puzzle-solving.

I loved this game enough, that I played it through completely over the two days after it arrived. That doesn't mean that it's easy though, so don't be fooled. The game actually has a perfect balance of challenge, with the early levels being easier and becoming progressively harder as you play through.

I highly recommend this title to anyone with a GameBoy that plays old-style cartridges. It is very hard to find one with an original manual, so be sure to look one up online because there are certain moves that will be helpful to learn early on.

My Score - 9/10

Note: If you pick this title up and end up loving it as much as I do, be sure to grab Mario vs. Donkey Kong for the GameBoy Advance, as it is the "unofficial" sequel, and equally as addicting!

No opinion. I bought it for my kids so they can insert it into their Super Game Boy so it can be played on their Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

i want to thank you for such a great game and i am please with the fast delivery and i been enjoying my game my kids and i lon=ve playing it it is great and alot of family fun i was looking for it and i founded it and it was a great price as well

This is the game I grew up playing. Still as challenging as ever and one of the only games I have never competely beat! I actually bought this for my grandmother lol but my son cabbaged on to it so I had to buy another.

A golden oldie! A classic!
