Game Description

Named Best Arcade to Home Translation of 1983 by Electronic Games Magazine, Kangaroo is indeed a hopping good port. It has smooth animation, solid controls, and faithfully reproduced graphics. Also, unlike Donkey Kong (or Donkey Kong Junior) for the ColecoVision, it includes all four screens of the original game. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide

Roots & Influences

The Arcade version of Space Panic (1980) was the first game featuring ladder-climbing. Donkey Kong (1980) introduced obstacle-jumping to the ladder-climbing formula. Crazy Climber (1980) was the first climbing game of any kind. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
