      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.

    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?

      They did mention the controversy without commenting directly on the particulars of the case. Karl Jobst has that pretty well covered.

    I never got good at the original Donkey Kong but it's a cool game

    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'.

    Ironically, both Mario and Donkey Kong now have two reptilian archenemies: Bowser and King K. Rool

    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?

    I never realized Donkey Kong introduced jumping over hazards and gaps! No wonder it inspired scrolling stages too!

      We made a mistake and fixed it. Sorry for the reload. Tried to catch it before the vid gained too much traction

      ​@@ThePixelPlaybackWhich was the mispronunciation of "Coleco", right? The mispronunciation of "Wiebe" remains, but that is far less noticeable as he is only mentioned briefly.
