Mike Mika thought that it was unfair that his 3 year old daughter had to use Mario when playing Donkey Kong. She couldn't understand why she couldn't use the female as the Hero. So Mike what what any father with the skills and ambition would do, Hack Donkey Kong...
30 years ago this month, the struggling American division of Nintendo, released the game Donkey Kong on the unsuspecting American shores making the company do a 180 and firmly making a place for the game and the company in the history books. Not to mention making me a few hundred dollars poorer as a kid. If I didn't pump so many quarters into these games, I would be independently wealthy by now.
