During the early 80s, Nintendo released the iconic game ‘Donkey Kong’, where players took on the role of Mario navigating obstacles across platforms to save a damsel in distress from the giant ape, Donkey Kong. This classic game has now been recreated for the ZX Spectrum by Artonapilos, offering an incredible arcade experience.
Artonapilos describes the ZX Spectrum version as a faithful replication of the original arcade game, providing players with a nostalgic trip back to the 80s. The game is part of a collection of classic arcade games cloned for the ZX Spectrum, with physical copies also available.
