Donk! The Samurai Duck!

Donk! The Samurai Duck! is a platform video game. It was made by The Hidden for the Amiga and Amiga CD32 in 1994.

Gameplay
Donk is a side-scrolling video game. Players move Donk to collect the keys needed to unlock Eider Down's fortress. Each level has multiple exits, which are unlocked after all its gems are collected. Power-ups include invincibility and being able to float on water.

There are one-player and split screen two-player modes.

Plot
Spidore, an elderly samurai warrior, finds Donk on a river bank. He wants to cook and eat him, but Donk gets Spidore to not place him in the cooking pot, and he trains him to become a samurai. By the time Donk's training is complete, Spidore is so old he has lost most of his strength and asks him to do his final quest. This quest is to defeat Eider Down, who wants to steal the magical gems hidden deep within another planet. These gems protect the Earth's atmosphere and give those who use them samurai powers.

Development
The game was named Dong on demo disks included with some Amiga magazines before the game's release. This was changed to Donk because "dong" is a slang word for the penis.

Legacy
A Dreamcast version made by Cryptic Allusion was announced in 2006. In 2007, a release later that year was announced. It was never released.
