Ahhhhh... chuckie cheese's 1988. It was hard 2 go up on the joystick to moving forward.

I had completely forgotten about this game. Good memories for someone who grew up in 80s arcades.

I remember this arcade game.

Another nice game. I always love the tune that bell plays when rung.

You're quite the talent at these games!

[shawbros]

This game used to kick my ass.

I realized that this game is a clone of Donkey Kong except that the American version is by Atari. I can tell that Sun Electronics is Sunsoft and did the Japanese version of Kangaroo. This explains that the kid Kangaroo said ママ!(mama!) meaning MOM! in Japanese.

@ThePatrickinator Sunsoft developed the game originally.

I always wondered why they didn't finish translating the game. Some of the joeys at the very start of the game say ママ (mama) in Katakana. Was it an oversight or done on purpose? I used to wonder what that was as a kid, then I saw the game a few weeks ago after having been studying Japanese and busted out laughing; I'd totally forgotten about it for years.

Anyway, for some reason I really like this game. But, just as with another of my arcade favourites, Berzerk, I absolutely suck at it.

@IgnatzKolisch

Thanks for the comment and for the translation:)

[RetroToledo]

@IgnatzKolisch Yeah, you'd think someone over there would've noticed it or was it a problem of not changing the sprites without reprogramming the whole thing when it was exported.

Man I love these 80's arcade games. Went into an arcade on the boardwalk down the shore this summer and didnt recognize one game. Everything was the virtual or sitdown type arcades. I know I sound old but the older arcades were the best.

Why does it play Oh Susanna?

[alaskautubenights]

There's an emulator called Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, or MAME. I have MAME32 v .103. You have to download the ROMS seperately. Just look for the game in MAME, then google the directory name of it and add .zip. I.E. shamsho4.zip is for Samurai Showdown IV, kangaroo.zip is Kangaroo.

Man, I loved this game! I wish they had a Mac and PC version. It was the bomb!

[DisembowelMe]

This game must have the most generic video game music ever.

[Zambaku]

This game is alot of fun, though I'm stuck at level 3, dunno what to do there >_>
