The Video Game Critic
I've seen several versions of this likeable platformer, but this is by far the best. It contains all four screens, each providing a unique challenge. The object is to guide a mother kangaroo past apple-throwing monkeys to save her baby, and similarities to Donkey Kong are hard to ignore. The graphics are arcade-perfect, with well-defined, smoothly animated objects. For once, the Atari 5200 controller turns out to be an asset, as pushing the joystick diagonally to jump is a piece of cake. Kangaroo isn't easy, but it is fun and habit-forming.

Kangaroo is a fine game for the Atari 5200, barely a TOP 10 in my opinion. If you happen to find one while you are scouring the world for games.... do yourself a favor: pick it up and have some fun!
