I beat this game back in the day (when I was 12 years old), finding that I've lost quite a bit of that ability! Still, slowly remembering the tricks is a lot of fun.
Score to beat: 7777 (register online so it updates the high score table). Once I get past Eugene's Lair, I'll be on a roll. Until I get to Kong Beast, that is.

**Mechnically it feels identical, there are a couple of omissions that you might spot, but it's close enough.
