Retroist Donkey Kong Podcast

After the success of Pac-Man, arcade games were taking chances and Donkey Kong was a big swing that paid off.

Welcome to the Retroist Donkey Kong Podcast. Well, I finally did it. Here is a podcast about the legendary video game classic, Donkey Kong.

On today’s show I start off talking about how while I was playing Donkey Kong, someone lit me on fire. After recalling that trauma and singing the praises of my sister I move onto the game.

I talk about how the game was conceived, its massive success, its many many influences and much much more.
