ConversionThis game is a conversion for Konami-type boards. A considerable amount of hacking is required, including piggybacking ICs.Game IntroductionBy pressing the Transform button Monkey can transform into what looks like a Dragon's head. This has no firing capability but it can eat the fireballs that some enemies fire at you.Game PlayThis is one of the best eye hand coordination games around.At first the game introduces one monkey that flies around and shoots at the enemy. However, when the enemy changes into fire balls then the monkey has to change into Mighty Monkey. Each level gets harder and the boundaries in which to navigate Mighty Monkey becomes smaller. Quick eye hand coordination is required with both the joystick and the button to swap back and forth from regular monkey to Mighty Monkey. Different enemies are sent and it takes more time to kill each enemy. Precision is key to this game along with instinct because the screen scrolls to the different levels and the player has to look ahead to decide what to do.
