Like Donkey Kong, Gorpee Kong is very old. Obviously not as old, but old. The first Gorpee Kong was made in 2004 in Flash and was very much like the original Donkey Kong. It even used Donkey Kong sound effects! Then in 2020, a new Gorpee Kong version was made that was way more like Mega Man than Donkey Kong. This version might be the most popular version, but sadly is discontinued. You can see
the original commercial for it here, and you might notice those graphics are now being used in Spookymania and Animal Fury.
This third (and probably final) version is a mix of both versions, but this is the only version to have a random game generator! Each time you play Gorpee Kong, you'll get a different set of levels to explore, and new levels are getting added all the time!
Fun fact: You can actually hear Grudge playing Gorpee Kong in
this episode of Hitmen, although the sound effects were mostly taken from Donkey Kong at the time.
