This port of Donkey Kong was released by Coleco in 1982, and only contained two stages from the arcade original -- the barrel stage and the final rivet stage.

While Atari did have the rights to home computer adaptations of Donkey Kong, Coleco had negotiated the rights to all home game system versions. As a result, Atari was unable to produce their own version for the 2600. Many years later, after Coleco had gone bankrupt and Atari was attempting to revive the 2600 to compete against the NES, Atari would re-release Coleco's Donkey Kong for the 2600.
