I played the world’s largest Donkey Kong arcade game and lived:
before you see any of that other stuff. The blue tower, formed by an aluminum frame and MDF fiberboard, is wedged between the museum’s second floor walls like it’s a clipping asset or a wisdom tooth, so it watches over you while you buy an admission ticket.
The machine is big and bright, which motivated me to skip up the staircase to reach it. I noticed, pleasantly, that it’s free-to-play despite being equipped with coin slots large enough to fit a hamburger puck. It has a joystick controller that was bigger than the palm of my hand, too, and an orange JUMP button as pressable as a damp dog nose, but it’s actually played through a standard, replica control panel.
It was exciting to feel that small while having fun, like I did the first time I jumped in a pool’s deep end, or graduated school in the city I had returned to for the first time in years. As an adult, every day, work and taxes make everything feel like it’s suffocating me. Giantdidn’t save me from that, or, thankfully, topple over and crush me like a can. But it did help me remember that life is long, and there’s always an opportunity to play.
