Kong, a tetchy gorilla, has captured a fair maiden called Jane. Your task is to rescue her from his clutches.

With a seemingly inexhaustible supply of barrels at his disposal, Kong hurls them at you at regular intervals. The barrels then roll down inclines, hell bent on your destruction, tumbling down ladders, or through hidden trapdoors. You can use a hammer for your protection, and broken ladders, but as yet, I haven't found out how to use the ladders.

Even if you do manage to reach Jane there is still the small matter of a boxing glove on an extendible arm to contend with.

Should you stumble across my name in the hall of fame please ignore my miserable scores, I'm out of practice, or so I keep trying to convince myself.

Within the limitations of the ZX81 graphics, the author of this game has put together a very enjoyable and playable package. In my opinion, a bit overpriced, which may deter some of the younger ZX81 owners, and that would be a pity.
