minus-squarebrsrklflinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 hours agoThe 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.
