Reviews for Kong (#2739)

Review by YOR on 11 Mar 2020 (Rating: 1)

A game that infamously features one of the worst cover arts in history, it's written by the same fella that wrote Frog Run for Anirog which may well be my favourite Frogger clone on the Spectrum. So despite its notorious reputation. its negative score on WoS, and indeed its famously bad cover, my hopes were high for this one. However that hope was extinguished the moment I started playing the game. It's crude, it's ugly and it's abysmal. I played this nine times and only got to the second screen once. The jumping is crap and the barrels are a pain in the arse to jump over as a result, and to avoid as well for that matter. So there it is, Anirog Kong, notably one of the worse games of all-time and I can see exactly why. Donkey Shit.

I'm a sucker for this little simple games. This version of Donkey Konk is obviously not the best, it's primitive in almost all the programming aspects, but it's functional and fun to play if you can cope with it's limitations and because it isn't too hard you can complete it easily.
