Kangaroo, released in 1983 and then again with silver box label in 1988, was the story of a mother kangaroo searching for her kidnapped baby. The game utilized the Atari 2600 joystick to help mother maneuver, "Donkey Kong" type level designs. Every different direction on the joystick would send mother ducking or leaping from ledges or to collect scattered fruit for points. The red button on the joystick controlled her "boxing," which was frequently needed to fight of the onslaught of evil monkeys bent on keeping baby kangaroo kidnapped. The game was remembered as being especially difficult as you start the game with 3 lives and no continues.

Kangaroo is another gem by yesterdays standards, but remains a formidable challenge to any newcomer to the games design.
