This comment is really out of date, Kangeroo is basically a non-working game without the proper MCU as the random bonus awards are far, far too generous, making the game much easier than it should be.
It's a common complaint from those who remember the game from back in the day (although given how old it is, those people are starting to die out, literally in some cases)
