I knew of this game, but I never played it. It's strange that it's such a departure from it's predecessors. Cool read!
I have the original 1981 Donkey Kong on my Atari 2600 (boxed, with an extremely uncharacteristic box-art), which is, besides hideous graphics, a decent enough port. I like Donkey Kong Jr. best personally, of those original games.
Donkey Kong wasn't completely forgotten after Donkey Kong 3 though, besides the arcade ports to NES, there was also Donkey Kong Jr. Math for NES and a couple of Game & Watches, but I agree those were all just minor spin-offs.
