Krazy Kong

Anirog's Krazy Kong is a playable version of the hit arcade machine, although it takes liberties with the original graphics.

Barrels and fireballs are being thrown down at you by the giant ape in an attempt to foil your rescue bid.

The running movement of Mario in this Anirog version is the most ungainly video game animation I have seen in a long time. It looks like Mario has got a limp!

The ape has to be seen to be believed as well. He looks more like a robot than flesh and blood.

These moans aside, Krazy Kong does at least reproduce most of the elements of the original.

If you are desperate for a Donkey Kong-type game for your Vic then buy Anirogs - available from the Surrey-based company for £7.50.
