DevMessageIcon.png This game has a hidden developer message.
GraphicsIcon.png This game has unused graphics.

Donkey Kong is the story of a guy named Jumpman, a giant gorilla, a girl named Pauline, and an endlessly looping set of buildings which may or may not contain a "pie factory".

Unused Graphics

Whoops

This frame of the cement (or "pie") object is never used, and there's not really a place to use it since it never falls.

Controversial!

The logo for Ikegami Tsushinki Co., Ltd. can be found with the rest of the title graphics, but it's never used. ITC both developed the hardware and wrote the program code for Donkey Kong.
