Time machine time. Let’s slip back to 1982 to play an arcade classic.

The game is Donkey Kong Junior. You play as the son of the original Donkey Kong. Your pop has been caged by an Italian of short stature and you have to save him.

You can run and jump as Junior, but your real forte is climbing vines and chains. Your character isn’t too bad at dropping fruit on enemies, either.

This is an emulation of the original game, which means that it contains all the charm and fun.

We like Mario playing the part of a villain. It’s the mustache. It makes him look diabolical!
