The one and only game finished and released by Sega for the Intellivision!

Graphics: 4 Sound: 3 Replay Value: 2 Notes: 1- or 2-player game; only game released by Sega Screen Shots

The control for this game is a bit difficult, perhaps due to the rotated perspective. The graphics in Congo Bongo are appealing, with good color and quality sprites and backgrounds, but the sound is so-so. Only two of the arcade game's four screens are reproduced here. Primate Peak is pretty accurately reproduced, but the game's boundaries aren't well tended. It's possible to jump or fall into odd places sometimes. The second and third screens, Snake Lake and Rhino Ridge, aren't represented. The Lazy Lagoon is mostly intact, with the lily pads, hippos, giant fish, and charging rhino. Bongo is snoozing, and you can give him the hot foot when you reach the other side of the river. One unique aspect of this game is the scrolling between the Primate Peak and Lazy Lagoon screens.

Only one version of the box has been found for Congo Bongo.

Looks like Sega was a bit lazy when proofreading the graphics for the box. The directions regarding what kind of controller to use for the Atari VCS version were left intact on the box!

Only one version of the manual has been found for Congo Bongo.

	A colorful, but still plain, title screen.
	Including the introductory skit is a nice touch.
	What a way to wake up!
	Graphics aren't bad, but the collision detection seems weak. You can also wander offscreen in a couple of places and get permanently stuck.
	The scrolling effect between screens is slick.
	Nice job on the hippos. But again, the perspective and seemingly poor collision detection make it tougher than it should be.
	For some reason, I find this last stage pretty difficult.
	What a pyro!
	Oh, goody! You get to do it all over again!
