Kong Strikes Back

This time round our Thrilla Gorilla arch enemy has taken a fancy to roller-coasters. Barrels are out, cars are in. These respond to the laws of gravity by changing pace on the slopes - a trap for the unwary.

Armed with four bombs, you must reach the top of the switchback to effect a rescue. Grab the various bonuses from the ladders and prepare for the second of the four tortuous circuits. From now on, fairground objects exert a stronger influence on the proceedings and even custard pies muscle in on the action.

A worthy follow-up to the original, with a well developed theme, right down to the hurdy-gurdy music. The screen spills over into the border, reflecting the overall quality of this program: in fact, everything has been refined and polished for maximum enjoyment.
