Which is why I had to try Fast Eddie.
Think Donkey Kong stripped to the chassis. No girlfriend to rescue. No barrels. Just Eddie climbing ladders, grabbing hearts, and hopping over whatever pixel blob counts as an enemy.
For its era, it’s fine. It runs. It plays. It doesn’t embarrass itself. But there’s no depth here. If you live for high scores, it’ll scratch the itch. If you’re expecting anything close to Donkey Kong, it won’t.
