Congo Bongo

Congo Bongo

Congo Bongo is an isometric platform arcade game released by Sega in 1983. The game is considered Sega's answer to the very successful Donkey Kong, released two years earlier. The player takes on the role of a red-nosed safari hunter trying to capture a monkey named "Bongo". The hunter is looking for Bongo to get revenge for an apparent practical joke in which Bongo set fire to the hunter's tent, literally giving him a "hot foot". The game was named by Peter W. Gorrie, who was Sega's chief financial officer at the time.
