Introduce
Kong is a fascinating arcade game, a conversion of the legendary Donkey Kong running on Galaxian hardware. This leads to significant changes in graphics and gameplay compared to the original. Although the graphics are simpler, using the limited color palette of Galaxian, the familiar storyline remains: Jumpman (Mario) must climb the building, dodging barrels thrown by Donkey Kong to rescue the princess.
The gameplay of Kong retains the basic movement mechanics of Donkey Kong: Jumpman can move left, right, jump, and climb ladders. However, due to the limitations of the Galaxian hardware, the animations might be simpler. Jumping and climbing require precision to avoid obstacles.
Each level in Kong may have different barrel arrangements and princess locations compared to the original, creating new challenges. The score is based on level completion time and the number of barrels avoided. The difficulty increases with each level, requiring players to have quick reflexes and clever tactics to succeed. Despite its simplicity, Kong still provides excitement and challenge for players.
