Arcade Archives: Don Doko Don

Don Doko Don is a 1989 platform video game developed and published by Taito for arcades. In the game, the player(s) control two lumberjacks, Bob and Jim, with the objective being to clear the screen of all the enemies. Bob and Jim use their mallets to stun the enemies, pick up the enemies, then throw them at a wall, or other enemies to kill them off, resulting in bonus points. Bonus items also appear during stages that will have varying effects on the players. Taito and ITL ported the game to both the Family Computer and PC Engine in 1990, both of which remained exclusive to Japan.
