King Kong was my childhood game. Over time I got curious about how different the game would be before release. In the video, you'll see several pre-release screenshots and some videos. THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.

Facts I could find:
King Kong game made a debut at E3 around May. - Videogamer
King Kong PC Demo out on Oct 7, 2005. - Videogamer (kingkonggame.com no longer exists)
King Kong went gold on Oct 28, 2005. - Videogamer (Xbox 360 gold on the first week of November, DS and PSP to follow soon after)
King Kong sequel was a possibility on Feb 22, 2006 according to Yahoo! Games - Videogamer. https://www.videogamer.com/news/kong-sequel-on-the-cards/
