Play Donkey Kong on Msdos Online

Game Overview

Man, Donkey Kong on MS-DOS takes me back. It’s that same arcade madness you remember—climbing ladders, dodging barrels, and trying not to yell when Donkey Kong cheats by throwing a random fireball your way. The graphics are a little chunkier than the arcade cabinet, but the tension? Still there. You’ll be leaning into the keyboard like it’ll make Jumpman (yep, pre-Mario Mario) move faster.

What’s wild is how something so simple stays so frustratingly fun. One minute you’re nailing perfect jumps, the next you’re getting wrecked by a barrel you swore you cleared. And that soundtrack? It’ll drill into your brain for days. If you’ve got nostalgia for early PC ports or just want to see where platformers started, this is a rough-around-the-edges gem. Just don’t blame me when you lose track of time.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
