Kangaroo

Kangaroo (Japanese: カンガルー) is a 1982 four-screen platform game released as an arcade video game by Sun Electronics and distributed in North America by Atari, Inc.[1] Kangaroo is one of the first arcade games similar in style to Donkey Kong without being a direct clone. The player takes the role of a boxing glove-wearing mother kangaroo who is trying to rescue her joey from fruit-throwing monkeys. Jumping is integral to the game, but there is no jump button. Instead, the player pushes up on the joystick—or up and diagonally—to leap. The arcade version of Kangaroo has visible glitches in the graphics, such as sprites briefly flickering.[2]
