In 1981, ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong'' was released and became a massive hit. During its success, a video game company called Tobikomi, known already for its successful space shooters and racing games, decided to make a more adult game in Donkey Kong's style. The game was called ''Fix-It Felix'' and while it was a modest hit, it got many complaints for being too difficult and having unnecessary adult elements thrown in. To deal with this, Tobikomi altered the game with a more family-friendly tone and more easy difficulty.

This resulted in ''Fix-It Felix Jr.'', known today as a classic 1980s arcade game, made in 8-bit graphics. The story itself is rather simple:

A brief prologue introduces WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph, the game's [[BigBad antagonist]]. He lives more or less happily in a stump in the middle of a forest, until said stump is moved to a dumpster and his home forest is torn down by bulldozers. Why? To clear the way for a luxurious apartment building that provides a home for a group of people called the [[InnocentBystanders Nicelanders]].

Naturally, when Ralph finds out about the destruction of his home, he is... [[UnstoppableRage less than pleased]]. He then proceeds to take his anger out on the apartment building by wrecking it. This requires the eponymous Fix-It Felix Jr. to step in and fix the damage Ralph causes with his magic hammer (inherited from his father).

The game was a success when it was first released, being popular at the many arcades it ended up in. Perhaps the most well-known version is the one at Litwak's Family Fun Center. A licensed [[WebGame browser port]] is [[http://lol.disney.com/games/wreck-it-ralph-fix-it-felix-jr available]].
