Overview

Crazy Kong Part II is an arcade game developed and released by Falcon in 1981. It is a platform game similar to Nintendo’s iconic Donkey Kong, sharing much of its gameplay and visual style.

Gameplay

The player takes on the role of a character who must rescue a captive from a massive ape, navigating through a series of girders while dodging various obstacles and enemies. The game consists of multiple levels, each increasing in difficulty, requiring players to time their jumps and movements to avoid danger and reach the goal.

Development and Legacy

The game was developed by Falcon, a company known for producing a number of arcade games during the early 1980s. Crazy Kong Part II is often considered a clone of Donkey Kong due to its similarities in both theme and gameplay.

This game was primarily produced for international distribution, especially in regions where Nintendo’s version was less available. As such, it became something of a curiosity among arcade enthusiasts and collectors. Despite its lack of official endorsement from Nintendo, Crazy Kong Part II saw a degree of success, emblematic of the era’s thriving arcade culture.
