on the original D.K. game. It was fun as a kid and it’s fun to see the origins of the characters

The original Donkey Kong is the arcade game. The NES port came later and was missing one of the four levels the arcade game had.

Strangely enough some licenced ports for the era’s computers were complete arcade ports unlike the in-house NES one.

On the Wii they released a “special edition” of NES Donkey Kong restoring the missing level.

  The ‘restored’ version is an official ROM hack of the NES version, so it can be played on the NES itself too via a flashcart.

    Yeah, I don’t have a NES anymore but I got that ROM on a hacked NES classic, and it works using the built-in emulator.
    
    Donkey Kong was already in the NES classic, but of course it was the original NES version.
