My introduction to this game came when it was included as part of Donkey Kong Classics on the NES. While I liked both Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. on that compilation, it was Donkey Kong Jr. that both I and my sister played the most. We just loved it. The trivia that you included in this review was neat to read and your review truly does a great game justice. Great stuff!

Nice review! I.... actually hadn't heard of this game until now... Or, if I had, it was only in passing without knowing what it really involved other than being related to Donkey Kong.

LOL, who the hell is still playing arcade ? Yeah, let's make a game as hard and broken as possible so it can swallow many quarters as possible . What the hell are you trying to achieve by submitting this review ? It's not going to be included in Metacritic or Gamerankings anyway, so virtually no one will read. Or are you trying to ignite the nostalgia of retro-gamers and encourage them to take a tour to the nearest arcade booth ? Yeah, rather than playing functional modern games, let's grith our teeth with some shitty game mechanics and shitty graphics, for old time's sake. What a joke.

I'd say it's mostly for the nostalgia, a tribute to the classics. I don't know of any arcade where I'd find a Donkey Kong Junior machine.

It's been missing its denizen for about a year and a half, if my approximations are correct.

I wish I'd given college the level of time and commitment that this guy gives to trolling forums.

That's my guess and you won't be seeing more posts from him until/if he returns with a new identity. For the record, he has had numerous chances to start fresh here. I don't delete accounts until those accounts give me a reason to do so, but he has done so now with several accounts (though it usually wasn't me who did the deleting).

That guy is worse than me and that's saying a lot...like A LOT. He seems to be very bitter and carry an abject hatred towards HG. I wonder who he is.

With all of that said, it's best to steer this topic back to discussion of Leroux's review, which was excellent and doesn't deserve to have related discussion derailed so swiftly.

You know what one of the best things about these old-school arcade reviews is? Back when I was growing up, I rarely went to arcades, but I did have an Atari 2600. So many games like DK Jr....I know primarily from playing the really stripped-down ports on that system. So it's nice to get the insight on the actual original game.
