Friends, welcome back to a new episode of the Diary of An Arcade Employee podcast – on this show I am going to be discussing 1983’s Congo Bongo by Sega. A classic isometric platformer that manages to meld elements of both Donkey Kong and Frogger into a rather unique if difficult game. A word of warning on this episode – I kind of hit a brick wall in regards to finding any information on who was responsible for creating Congo Bongo. As you will hear for yourself in the episode, while Congo Bongo wasn’t a success in the arcades, Sega managed to get a port out for pretty much all of the popular home consoles and computers of the day.
As always I want to thank you for taking time of your very busy schedule to listen to the podcast – so without further ado, don your pith helmet and prepare to trek into Congo Bongo!
