Title
Equally as fun as a real barrel of monkeys
Watching that monkey fall too his death so mario can get some Coochie is an all time great game ending.

The music is classic, the visuals are classic and the game play is classic everything here still stands up. Every time I pick the game up I must make it to the last screen because as simple as it seems getting your timing right is so fun. Especially is putting your whole body into the arcade version slamming the joystick and buttons.

    This rating makes me sad. Besides Galaga, this is probably my favorite arcade game.

    Average rating on this one is potentially low as nearly all the ports (early Atari and even NES ports) are either ugly or missing levels.

    One of the most important games in gaming history. Not a lot of fun in 2023, but still as important.

    this is very specific but the RNG of the flames in the atari 2600 port is so laughably unfair, they can change directions while you're in mid air jumping over them

    Best Port is Arcade, OR 3DS/Wii Virtual Console vers. Play the pie factory level!
