I think the name Naanas is based on that long yellow fruit eaten by chimpanzees. This suspicion is confirmed when the game begins.

Your pet chimp is knocking fruit down from the trees above and you are dashing about below trying to catch it in your bag, while avoiding coconuts and jumping the fallen bananas.

The skill level is variable, the graphics are good, as is the sound. In addition, there is a hall of fame feature, but I could find no way of user defining the keys as advertised on the cassette insert.

This simple game plot can cause some hoots of laughter when played in a group.

But for solo play, I would have thought that something a little more sophisticated would be needed to sustain the interest of the dedicated games player.

Really, this game is more suitable for younger players who would appreciate the simplicity of operation and the hilarious cartoon characters, together with the wacky sound effects.

In conclusion, I would be surprised if this game found its way into the list of "arcade classics".
