Donkey Kong Online Game
Donkey Kong Classics is an interesting title for the NES. We had both Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr released many years earlier for the NES. In 1991, Nintendo decided to re-release both games, but this time on one cartridge. This was a great decision and it is one of the first examples of a “collection” of older games being re-released together. If you have played both these games before then you should know what to expect here.
Game Description. Similar to Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. Is a platform game released in 1982 that reverses the roles between Mario and Donkey so now Mario is the villain and Donkey Kong must be rescued. And who better to rescue his dad than D.K.J.R? Play Donkey Kong Game at Classic Free Arcade Play the game Donkey Kong for free online in flash at Classic Free Arcade.

Donkey Kong
Let’s start with the original Donkey Kong! This is an absolute classic and at the time the NES version was one of the best home conversions of Donkey Kong around. It looks fantastic and it really is as close as you could get to bringing the actual arcade game home. Like many other conversions of Donkey Kong, this NES version is not fully complete as it does not have the convey belt stage. To be fair many other versions at the time kipped this stage, but I feel they could have easily put it on the NES.
The game is great, you playing as Mario needs to save the girl from Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong Classics is just a really fun game and this is one of my all time favorite arcade games. It is a true joy to play with tight controls and simple, but very hard gameplay which keeps you wanting to play just one more time.
Donkey Kong Jr
If you ask me, Donkey Kong Jr is one heck of an underrated game. While Donkey Kong may get all the attention, I feel this game here is just as good. The version of this on Donkey Kong Classics is as close to the arcade as you can get. Nintendo really did a great job here and the game I would say is actually even more difficult than the original Donkey Kong so that is something to keep in mind.
The gameplay of Donkey Kong Jr is a bit different, but also familiar. The game this time sees Mario as the bad guy and he has caged Donkey Kong! You playing as his son Jr, try to save him. The game is a platformer, but being able to climb vines is cool. The platforming is nice and tight, but it is keeping an eye on the enemies that you really need to do as you make your way to your dear old dad!
Free Donkey Kong. Free Donkey Kong is a free online arcade game, where you have to get as high as you can jumping on the platforms, in order to save the princess. Work your way up the ladders and uneven platforms. The angry ape will roll barrels down at you to make you fall off the platform. You can jump over the obstacles or use the magic.

Overall, Donkey Kong Classics is a fantastic collection of games. Both of these are amazing games in my opinion and are essential for any gamer to play. I do feel that it would have been cool if they could have put Donkey King 3 on here as it would then have been a real complete collection. Still, this is a must-play for the NES!
Final Score: 9.5/10
