Editor note

Jim Leiterman wrote a Symbolic Reverse Assembler (turns assembly code into fully documented source code) and used it to port the Atari 5200 version of Kangaroo to Atari 8-bit computer. But management wasn't interested. He sent his polished port over to APX who was and the game saw public release. But then Atari management suddenly wanted to publish a computer version. So a different department made a different port from scratch. Leiterman's version can be distinguished but the red strawberries, not purple, and other quality details.
