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