Kangaroo is one game I pop in now and then with the intention of at least getting past the first screen. However like Lucy pulling the football out from Charlie Brown, I never achieve my goal and end up flat on my ass, staring skyward while muttering "good grief". I then dust myself off and put the game away for a few more months until I get brave enough again for another crack at the damn football.
So what's the secret? Is it really a hard game or do I just suck at it? I'm always getting killed by those stupid monkeys either dropping rocks or coconuts (or whatever they are) on me or throwing them at me. I'm pretty good at donkey kong so in theory I should be good at kangaroo. Reality, unfortunately, belies my expectation.
