DescriptionThat crazy monkey has carried off your girlfriend. You've got to climb ladders, ride elevators and not get hit by barrels, fireballs and mudpans while trying to reach the top of the screen and rescue your girlfriend.Know anything more about this game? Cheats, Tricks and BugsOn the barrel level, climb up the ladder on the right at the bottom. Take a step to the right and leap off the edge. Do it right, and you'll bounce off the edge and fall through the floor and off the screen. Crazy Kong will then grab the girl and go on to the next screen. Mucho bonus points and you don't have to worry about those barrels that Kong throws that bounce down after you instead of rolling along.ConversionThe game's hardware is similar to that of Nichibutsu's Crazy Climber.Game PlayThis is a Donkey Kong clone with a few extras thrown in. If something moves, don't touch it. If it doesn't move, it's either a hammer (for bashing barrels) or a bonus item for picking up (umbrella, purse, etc.).MiscellaneousCOPY OF: Donkey KongThis game is not a bootleg, but a legitimate release licensed for non-US markets.

Wanted - There are 2 VAPS members currently looking for this game. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.
