Reception

[edit]

Crash magazine called Killer Kong "a very fine version with excellent graphics and plenty of screen variation."[2]

In 2011, retrogaming magazine ZX Spectrum Gamer wrote, "Killer Kong might actually be pretty good if it didn't play like a magazine type-in. The movement is really jerky–character square movement instead of pixel precision, and the barrels tend to flicker enough to make things really tricky".[3]
