Krazy Kong

This is about the best version of the famous version of the famous arcade game I have seen for the Vic. It has good multi-colour graphics with a tune of the start, though a little more sound when "Mario" runs would be better. The game is well presented on the screen, with interesting titles and high score (top four scores can be reorded to three initials). Packaging is good, with a background story and full instructions.

Either joystick or keyboard can be used: I found using the keys almost impossible, and a joystick allows much quicker movement.

There are four different sets with increasing difficulty - including the familiar obstacles barrels, fireballs, the lift and holes to jump across. The lift on the third set requires perfect timing to jump on to it, and of course, to jump off again.

Well done, Anirog!
