Why do you mention billy mitchell at 16:27 then immediately go on about how there is a high score ceiling, without saying that billy mitchell is a cheater and never made the high score, you know that he faked it?
Been a Donkey Kong fan since I first played it in 1981. Thanks for making this video. Where can one purchase an original Donkey Kong game cabinet with the original game board from a reputable seller?

Great video, well made and overall really nice to watch. Looking forward to more of these.
Thanks so much for the kind words! We put a lot of work into these vids, so hearing that means a lot.
There’s lots more vids in the pipeline too.

Whenever trouble hits Nintendo, they always clutch it right before the brink of bankruptcy
Interesting to hear the origins of the name. I always assumed it was a mis-hearing / mistranslation of 'Monkey Kong'.

I never realized Donkey Kong introduced jumping over hazards and gaps! No wonder it inspired scrolling stages too!
Why the re-upload? Already watched this one!
We made a mistake and fixed it. Sorry for the reload. Tried to catch it before the vid gained too much traction
