I know that's probably sacrilege to take a shot at DK but it is boring and repetitive.

Most of the arcade games had very few screens {total} back in the early days, and I think people were happy with what they had.
Yes, by today's standards {the level to which the bar has been raised} the early games seem simple, some may even say '2 dimensional'.
But this is like if I said:
'Hey, DB! Check out my slick new ride - it's a
Model 'T' Ford, and can go over
40 mph if you really put your foot down~'
By today's standards this is a joke, taken in the context that even an inexpensive compact car could outperform its ancestor, but I imagine to people seeing cars for the first time back then it was amazing to travel at that speed.
{although, horses can run faster than that for a short while, can't they?}
Actually I have to tell you that the first time I saw Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong »
Coin Op
I was transported to another World , in comparison to the games I had seen up to that point {early 80's} and so to me it was GREAT.
I was in awe of its Model T Ford fresh awesomeness.
