When they made this game, it gave new meaning to the word stinking.
I was happy to pay thirty-one bucks for this game in 1983.
But when I played it on my Atari 2600, it truly sickened me.
It gave no points for jumping over enemies and no fruit to kill them either.
If this piece of crap was my wife, I would leave her.
I want to forget this abomination that Coleco made but I don/'/t think I can.
Instead of looking like an ape, Donkey Kong looked like a Gingerbread Man.
This version of DKJ was so awful, I can/'/t believe it was real.
They should/'/ve buried this Atari game with E.T. in the landfill.
