Kong

About

Kong is a direct platformer clone of the classic arcade hit Donkey Kong, built specifically for the Commodore C64, C128, and MAX systems by Anirog Software Ltd. You control a character who must climb ladders and jump over barrels while avoiding the ape above. The game runs as a single-player experience where your goal is simple: reach the top of the screen without falling or getting hit. It strips the formula down to its basics and lets you focus purely on the mechanics. What really sets this version apart is its notorious cover art, which fans often discuss for being so weird it sticks in your memory. There is no fancy story or extra modes here. You just play the game exactly as intended for the hardware. Community members who have tracked these older titles often rate the gameplay solidly even if they laugh at the box art. It stands as a straightforward example of how developers adapted big arcade ideas for home computers back in the day.
