Well not sure if I would call it love. There is something about this game that has caused me to play it for more time than I'd like to admit.

Wait, there's a Kangaroo core? Is it unofficial?

I love Kangaroo, but haven't heard anything about this.

If we are talking about the 1982 Sunsoft arcade game, I hope so.

From that link:

Sun Electronics licensed Kangaroo to Atari, Inc. Two different program ROMs where made for this game. The only difference was the Sun Electronics and Atari copyright notice. Both program ROM boardsets for Kangaroo have Sun Electronics silkscreen on them.

A Classic! Looks like it's running on the same hardware as Arabian.

Don't know if I've played this one- Will have to try it out in emulation for now. I recently added as many Saturday Supercade cartoons as I could find to my media server. Show: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Supercade

At least I can enjoy the handful of episodes (I don't think many are 'out there' yet) to get into the lore for now. :)
