About Donkey Kong
Shigeru Miyamoto designed it after Nintendo of America was stuck with unsold Radar Scope cabinets. It introduced Jumpman, later renamed Mario, climbing girders to rescue Pauline from a giant ape. One of the first games to tell a story through short cutscenes. Universal Studios sued over King Kong and lost. It made Nintendo a major force in American arcades.
