Monkey Kong
Monkey Kong , or as it was dubbed by MicroDeal, King Cuthbert , is yet
another Donkey Kong clone (of course). Two screens from the original are
present in this version.
The first is the classic first “barrels” screen, where the Mario-like
character must climb a scaffolding and jump over the barrels that Monkey Kong
rolls toward him. In the level are also two hammers, which Mario/Cuthbert can
use to smash the barrels. Wielding the hammer makes him unable to jump and
climb ladders, though.
The second screen is the “rivets” screen, where you must climb the ladders of
another scaffolding that is on fire. Avoid the fires and pop the rivets that
hold the platforms together. Once they are all popped, the scaffolding will
collapse and take the monkey with itself.
Graphically, Monkey Kong is not as blatant a copy as Donkey King, but still
makes no effort to mask Mario as anything else but Mario (or Cuthbert). The
game runs in four-colour mode.
