I know this is just to draw argumentative responses but you're right. Donkey Kong is the greatest. It was one of the islands in the seas of space games and it was one of the least abstract non-space games around. It's clear what's going on in the game. Compare with zoo-keeper's square zoo or even the weird ghost maze of Pac-Man (which is another contender). The clearly readable scenario of a man climbing scaffolding to combat an ape gave Donkey Kong a broad appeal and a reach that not many could exceed. And of those that did (Pac-Man), they were simply worse games.
