the original Kangeroo should probably be marked as Not working or Imperfect Protection at least as the random event generation is wrong which means you can leech for infinite points when in the original you couldn't.
HOWEVER, in this case, even if there's a bootleg, I'm not sure it's any better, or if the bootleg just has the same bugs, but is emulated correctly because the PCB would have the same bugs too.
