You must rescue the lady that the Killer Kong has captured - this game certainly wasn't designed to appeal to female computer users.

You must climb up the ladders and jump over the barrels, which Killer Kong throws down.

Points are gained for a successful jump and for jumping into the hamburgers which are inexplicably hanging from the girders. The love the lady had for you reduces the longer you take.

This is added to your score when you reach the top of the screen, and you then move on to the second stage with lifts.

There is a mistake in the instructions - it says 0 will fire but actually it makes the man jump. The unfortunate man you control has legs that are twisted in all the wrong directions - other than that the graphics are reasonable but jerky.

It's very difficult to time the jumps correctly - this isn't helped by the sluggish response to the keys, which makes the game very frustrating.

The game starts automatically so that if you're not quick off the mark you lose a life immediately. Very irritating.
