A small mysterious island somewhere in the vicinity of Sumatra was first given the enigmatic name Skull Island in the original RKO promotions for the 1933 film King Kong. This “Skull Island” follows in those huge, furry footsteps and aims to provide a backdrop and setting with simple rule mechanics for miniature skirmish games that borrow a page or two from The Big Ape screenplays and adventures of the past century.

Son Of Kong
King Kong was such a success a sequel was rushed out. Carl Denham returns to the infamous Skull Island where he discovered the first Big Ape and guess what, there's another one. This film isn't as good as the original, but it is not without some merit. Check it out if you can find it.
King Kong (1933)
It's a classic, what more can really be said? The film was a monumental achievement at the time of its production and is still inspiring film makers to this day. The story is a simple one, I mean come on, who doesn't love a story about a girl and her monkey. (I know, technically Kong's an ape). Fay Wray made a lasting impression as the bride of The Big Ape and we all hated to see the big guy gunned down at the end. Poor confused bastard just wanted a better view of the Big Apple.
