 Twin Galaxies Forums :: View topic - Congo Bongo - New World Record !!
"Congo Bongo" was released in 1983 by Sega, and was reminiscent of "Donkey Kong" in spirit, but had a rare, for that time, 3/4 overhead perspective, very much like many role playing games of today such as "Diablo II".
The storyline is simple...a mischevious ape, possibly named "Bongo" but I'm not sure, armed with an impish smile and a tree branch set on fire, sneaks up on a jungle explorer sleeping in his tent, and gives him a hot-foot.
In "Congo Bongo", when you lose a life, a little white outline of yourself with an angelic halo appears, and mysteriously travels upwards towards the top of the screen.

 Home of the Underdogs - Entry: Congo Bongo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Congo Bongo is an extremely faithful port of Atari's famous jump-n-run platform arcade game, which in itself is a blatant ripoff of Donkey Kong, presented in Zaxxon-style isometric perspective.
Naturally, you vow revenge on Bongo for this cruel prank.
Gameplay is quite fun, although Congo Bongo suffers from the same problem of Zaxxon PC version: the very limited 4-color CGA palette makes it very difficult to gauge distances between objects, so any illusion of 3D is almost nil.

Guess not, because their in-house attempt to translate the equally elaborate Congo Bongo arcade game for the 2600, while a bit less of a graphical and game play train wreck than Zaxxon, is still a train wreck.
One of the biggest hurdles in bringing Congo Bongo to the 2600 is the isometric 3-D perspective.
