Donkey Kong

About

Donkey Kong for the TRS-80 is a platformer that lets you play as Mario trying to climb up a construction site. You need to reach Pauline at the top while avoiding barrels rolling down from Donkey Kong. The game also features conveyor belts, elevators, and fireballs to slow your progress. This version was built by Wayne Westmoreland and Terry Gilman before Nintendo stopped them from publishing it officially. The project became public domain in 1995 after the developers released all their TRS-80 work. It stands out because you get a complete playable port of a classic arcade title that never saw an official release on this specific computer system. Many retro collectors seek this version just to see how the original mechanics translate to the TRS-80 hardware without modern polish or copyright issues blocking access.
