Retro Donkey Kong

August 12th, 2008 · No Comments · News

lego-donkey-kong Dan Kressin was challenged by his wife to make Donkey Kong. So he took the challenge.

Some of his criteria were:

  • rolling barrels (using LEGO barrels if possible)
  • Donkey Kong throwing the barrels
  • a barrel-jumping minifig
  • ladders and ramps that closely resembled the originals

He ended up using minifigs for Mario and the girl.  And then he found the troll.  Looks close enough to a gorilla, right?  

In addition, he used a light sensor to detect when a barrel was rolling, a motor to carry the barrels from the bottom to the top (and send them rolling) and another motor to control the jumping action.  For the complete details, including a video of the game in action, check out Dan’s LEGO Donkey Kong page.
