Well we finally did it, a podcast on the video game classic, Donkey Kong. On today’s show we talk about how the game was conceived, its massive success and its many many influences. Jonathan is back with the Retro Rewind and Kill Screen talks about all those cool Donkey Kong toys and collectibles. It was a fun show to put together and I hope you enjoy it. Just a reminder to drop by our official forums to discuss Donkey Kong. You can find them at http://www.retroist.com/forum/.
