Killer Kong screenshot

[Gears of Games]

I noticed that the in-game screenshot on Killer Kong looks different compared to all the versions available. There is one version labelled "different", but it still looks the same as the other versions. Just wondering if maybe there's been a mix-up. Or possibly we don't have the differently looking version on file. Also bit curious what is different between versions, if anyone knows...

To clarify things a bit. Here's two screenshots, showing some of the differences.

Screenshot from the "different" version, that looks like all the other versions available for DL (I think).

There are four main file downloads:
1. tzx - blaby different
2. tap - blaby
3. tzx - blaby
4. tzx - prism

1, 2 and 4 seem identical, but the Kong sprite on tzx #3 matches the screen shot and also the map.

What the!? You are right! But I went through all of them using the JSSpeccy links and they were all the same! Maybe some sort of linking problem in my browser or maybe someone fixed it. Because it was a couple of weeks ago that I went through them! Thanks for clearing it up!

Anyway, carry o now, nothing else to see here!

Oh, this worth a note in the game entry.

Based on the inlays, it seems that here are indeed two Blaby Computer Games releases.

Release #1 has no title screen and the old kong graphic, and it is preserved as the tape image #3
Release #2 has a title screen and a better kong graphic, and it is preserved in the tape image #1, having a TAP conversion as tape #2

Nice spot!

It looks like the game on the first screenshot is the original one and the game on
the second screenshot is a later version with improved graphics.

Thanks for looking into this. Definitely worth a note...
