DESCRIPTION

Featuring colorfully cute graphics and a Zaxxon-like 3D perspective, Congo Bongo is a fixed screen platformer inspired by Donkey Kong and Frogger. Players control an explorer who runs, jumps and climbs his way through a jungle filled with wild animals, mazes, cliffs, waterways and other tough-to-negotiate obstacles and pathways in order to reach Bongo, a mischievous ape. The three-quarter viewpoint makes moving the character a little tricky, and the game doesn't live up to the titles by which it was influenced, but it is an innovative and enjoyable take on a classic theme. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
