|In [[List of games by date#1981|1981]], Nintendo had their first blockbuster release with [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]'s creation - ''Donkey Kong''. Originally released in the arcades, ''Donkey Kong'' became a very popular game amongst gamers, eventually spawning many remakes and ports. In this game, [[Donkey Kong]] was the antagonist who kidnapped [[Mario]]'s girlfriend Lady (later renamed [[Pauline]]). It was later ported to the many home systems including the Atari 2600, the Collecovison and the Nintendo Entertainment System. This is a simple platformer, where the player must control Mario while jumping and avoiding obstacles and making it to Donkey Kong.

|The following year, another arcade game was created, ''Donkey Kong Jr.'' This time, the roles were reversed. Mario was the villain, and DK was a damsel in distress. Here, [[Donkey Kong Jr.]], Donkey Kong's son, had to save his kidnapped father from Mario. The gameplay is the same as the original Donkey Kong; Donkey Kong Jr. must avoid traps set off by Mario to save Donkey Kong by jumping and simply avoiding them.
