10 Games Within Video Games You Must Play

3. Red Menace - Fallout 4

Donkey Kong… cough… I mean Red Menace is a game that is very reminiscent of the original Donkey Kong, but is totally not a rip off because instead of the giant ape it’s an alien. And instead of an Italian plumber in overalls, it’s a vault-tech boy in a skin-tight suit.

Completely different in every way possible.

Being the first game cartridge the player has and is available right from the point you collect a pipboy, the game is easily one of the most fun in the entire wasteland. Mimicking Donkey Kong perfectly in a fitting homage to the original, the game is just pure fun and a call back to one of the games that set the groundwork for all games.

Plus, who doesn’t want to play Donkey Kong, even if it is called ‘Red Menace’ and features an alien. The wasteland can be explored later, there are more important things to do before you leave the vault.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
