Brief History

Donkey Kong first appeared as a Nintendo game character back in 1981. Two theories attempt to explain the origin of the video game’s name:

1. During production, some form of miscommunication led the game to be named Donkey Kong instead of its intended name “Monkey Kong.”

or…

2. His inventor, Shigeru Miyamoto, named the video game “Donkey Kong” to suggest stubborness (donkey) and gorilla-like imagery (Kong).

My personal theory is that the name implied “stupid gorilla” as opposed to “stubborn”, since Donkey Kong fights with braun instead of brains. But whatever the case, Donkey Kong is the name of the muscular, 800 pound gorilla that we know and love today.

Brief History

The original Pac-Man was developed by Namco and first released in Japan in 1979. In 1980, the classic arcade game was later introduced to the American market. Due to a lukewarm response from Japanese consumers, no one expected it to become a hit in the United States overnight.

In 1982, Atari sought the rights to license and publish Pac-Man for their 2600 console. This gave American consumers an opportunity to play the original arcade game at home. However, a rushed production of the game left much to be desired.
