23. Kangaroo

Kangaroo
1983
2600



In Kangaroo you play a rabbit trying to climb ladders to reach another rabbit, while avoiding hacky sacks thrown by mutant fish-squids.



This is a blatant attempt to rip off Donkey Kong, and good on them. The Atari Kangaroo is a much better game than the Atari DK. It has more interesting enemies, it has more stages, and it has additional depth with the addition of some slick new mechanics like ducking and punching.
