OK

Watching the game I notice that doc rivers reminds me of a kangaroo on an old video game. It's way back in the Atari days. It was really popular.

That's all I have. It's driving me crazy to not remember the name.

I had the game way back when and still can't remember.

You mean the arcade game? There was one with a mama kangaroo that was an early donkey kong ripoff.

I am not (nor was I ever) a video game person, so I went to Wikipedia and found this:

Kangaroo (カンガルー) is an arcade game that was released in 1982. It was manufactured by Sun Electronics but distributed by Atari. The game bears a strong resemblance in terms of gameplay and plot to Donkey Kong as well as the Popeye video game. The player takes the role of a mother kangaroo who is trying to rescue her son. She must climb through treetops, while disabling pink monkeys that attack the kangaroo with apples. Points are scored for defeating enemies, eating the fruit scattered through the levels, as well as for punching out hostile monkeys (or by punching either whole apples that are thrown at the kangaroo, or apple cores, which are dropped dropped on her from above). Additionally, a bonus score is awarded for each level completed, with the size of the bonus determined by how quickly the level is solved.

Please don't tell me the game was called kangaroo. LOL.

To be honest I'm drawing a complete blank on what the game was about. Donkey Kong was a popular game back then and I can imagine some similarity.

Something bad must have happen to me back then because i'm totally drawing a blank.

Did the kangaroo look like doc rivers?
