Love these stories.  Some have been playing DK since the early 1980s while others discovered it much later.  Shigeru Miyamoto's groundbreaking game has truly spanned generations and survived countless gaming trends.

Hills Department Store. I was seven years old.  I used to watch the older kids and teenagers play.  But I couldn't make it off of 1-1.
