Donkey Kong

It's gorilla warfare!
You can feel an exciting tingle up and down your spine when you play Donkey Kong at home, just like at an arcade. Your joystick guides Mario, the fearless carpenter, up the girders and elevators as he attempts to rescue his sweetheart from the clutches of Donkey Kong. All the thrills of the arcade game in a home computer version for one or two players.

Mario*, the fearless carpenter, wants desperately to save Pauline from the clutches of Donkey Kong, who holds her captive atop a mass of broken girders. Mario must scale four different structures to rescue his sweetheart.
He always begins at the bottom of a stack of girders. He must climb ladders, leap over a barrage of bouncing barrels, and dodge lethal fireballs — only to have Donkey Kong snatch the damsel from him once again, breaking the plump little hero's heart.
Sometimes, poor Mario finds himself at the bottom of a pyramid of girders. He must dash over all eight steel rivets to accumulate points while avoiding fatal torching by the fireballs. But after removing the rivets, he must take care to leap over the gaps.
When Mario jumps onto a series of fast-movinc, elevators to get to the top, he has to avoid fireballs and mad bouncing springs.
Mario also faces a complicated chain of conveyor belts. He must sidestep moving buckets of sand while continuing to battle the
unrelenting fireballs.
He has only three chances to reach the top of the heap—though he can win an extra chance by scoring 7,000 points—all the while racing against the clock. It's a struggle all the way. But Mario will face anything to rescue his truelove.
Strategy
Speed counts, especially when you're challenging the broken girder ramps. Dawdling fuels Donkey Kong's anger —he'll bowl barrels faster and harder. So move Mario quickly!
The hammers, which last for about 10 seconds, can be very useful. But, you'll need to make is sure Mario stops running before smashing a fireball or barrel —each of these tricksters can easily slip under a hammer on the upswing and polish Mario off.
Be careful when approaching .0 ladders. Barrels have minds of their own, and may drop down on Mario's noggin at the last possible moment.
Practice helps you master Mario's various feats of video athletics. While Mario runs in one direction, you can slam the joystick to the opposite side a split second before punching the jump button — he'll back-jump over al unplugged rivets or other foes. When two obstacles approach, get a running start, then press the jump button — he'll execute a flying broad jump. Timing his
jumps is the key to Mario's success on the elevators and conveyor belts.
