Donkey Kong 2 Game & Watch (1983)

The Donkey Kong 2 Game & Watch, released in 1983 as part of the Multi Screen series, presents a simple yet engaging single-player experience. In this sequel, the roles are reversed, with Mario having captured Donkey Kong, and his son, Donkey Kong Jr., embarking on a rescue mission. Gameplay involves navigating two vertical LCD screens: on the lower screen, Junior must collect a key while dodging crocodiles and electric sparks by climbing vines, then carry it to the upper screen where he climbs chains, avoiding birds, to unlock the four locks securing his father’s cage. Completing this sequence four times frees Donkey Kong, and the game loops with increasing difficulty. Reception for the Donkey Kong 2 Game & Watch was generally positive for its time, offering a portable and unique gameplay experience within the limitations of the LCD technology, and it remains a nostalgic collectible for retro gaming enthusiasts.
