I decided that my Atari 2600 wasn't getting enough playing time. So I decided to start playing it again. After about a half-hour of playing Donkey Kong Jr., I finally made it past the first level. I thought my joystick was shot because I didn't know how to get off the ropes. It turns out that you press right and not fire at the same time since fire is used for jumping. When you're at the top and have to jump over the stupid tiny things because they kill you is almost impossible to time your jump correctly. I think they should have made the jump go higher. And when I go to the second level, the bird is automatically right beside you as you start? Lame. You have almost no chance of escaping it. I managed to once before the blue bump on the vine got me and it was game over for the one billionth time. Also, my console doesn't seem to like this game, either, because it kept screwing around and making grey squares where the black should be. I put in Secret Quest or Double Dunk and it doesn't do that. I'll also be checking out other Atari 2600 games I have that I never play and just collect in the coming days.
