Zorgon's Kingdom is a real time graphic adventure, loosely based on Donkey Kong. Playable with the choice of keyboard or joystick controls, the keyboard was easier to use but the latter proved more successful.

As you guide your adventurer through five screens, you will encounter bouncing bombs, mutating octopi, electron bolts and many other hazards besides.

Six lives are available in order to allow you a chance to defeat Zorgon's minions and the evil devices. Only then will you be able to face the monster himself.

Unfortunately I found it impossible to complete the fifth screen and so never had the pleasure of meeting the elusive Zorgon.

Between each screen there is a pause of about three minutes while the next screen is loading.

Overall, this proved a very enjoyable and addictive game. The graphic and sound capabilities of the machine are used to the full.

I'd go so far as to say that it's probably one of the best games for the Vic-20 on release at present.
