The Games of Starcade - Congo Bongo

[3960md]

People were so much thinner back then. 

[funmike1987]

A summer school teacher I had Named Mrs. Obrian had the comidor 64 version of this.

[MNT245]

aaahhhhhh congo bongos!!!! thats so fun to play!!!

[ApacheMan2K]

1:36 -- Oh, and at the risk of making a somewhat obscure reference: "Watch out for snakes!"

[ApacheMan2K]

This was one of Sega's lesser-known arcade games (compared to "Zaxxon"), but it was successful enough to get some console ports, mostly in Japan. Some would call this the 3D/isometric equivalent to Nintendo's "Donkey Kong".

This game can also be unlocked as a hidden game in all versions of "Sonic's Genesis Collection".

I also got this game as an unlockable title in "Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection" for my PLAYSTATION 3.

SO nice graphics for its time

[MyNephewIsTough]

How come nobody mentioned having a droid phone on here?

[ViperVenom128]

CONGO BONGO IS HARD!!

[YeyJordan]

Ahh :] This game is in the Genesis Collection for Xbox 360. It's addictive, though the primitive attempt at isometric graphics makes it kinda hard to dodge things.

[HamonLord]

so before sonic ripped off mario, this guy ripped off donkey kong? ingenious.

[MrGrevy]

Ummmmm ok...on d where in the FUCK is part 2??

[AdamNedeff]

@MrGrevy What?

[MrGrevy]

@AdamNedeff The second goddamn part  - where is it? Is Congo Bongo racist???

[AdamNedeff]

@MrGrevy The second part of WHAT? This is a collection of segments from a game show showing different arcade games they had in rotation. You seem to be under the impression that it's something else and I can't figure out what.

[MrGrevy]

@AdamNedeff Well I'm just an angry confused person. I thought it was the first part of a show and I wanted to see the second part...umm, goddamnit!

[goko178]

ok now i see what congo bongo is the game looks like it sucks

[MasterFreespirit]

Ah old school... when games were fun and not just about bloodshed.

[Sposchy]

@MasterFreespirit

You seem to be confused with the 8-bit/16-bit era. Anything pre-NES was really, really poor.

[alexmcphail1000]

this suck's!!! why did they play it?? i won't

[Skagology]

that first kid did great, the 2nd guy sucks

[AdamCampetti]

Man it's so hard to find footage of this original game / arcade version. So glad you uploaded this. All the rest are really bad Atari or C64 conversions. I like those consoles, but it's frustrating when that's all you can find when you want to see the original arcade version. I miss this show too. They replayed it on G4 before it merged with TechTV , the destruction of a great station (2 great stations) that COMCAST was responsible for.

[Pinwormx]

Everyone sucked at this game.

[realitycheckcashed]

i had Congo Bongo for the Atari 2600.....what a piece of shit

[DjJohnnyM68]

This was very much an angled nearly 3d version of Donkey Kong and similar games...loved it back then, and would love to play it again..

[Skagology]

@DjJohnnyM68 ... you can, it's on Sonic's Ultimate Sega Genesis Collection for the XBOX!

[dpsinoh]

I have this for the 5200 & Colecovision, they look awful compared to the arcade version. I wish Sega would release emulated versions of their 80's arcade games for the PS-3, 360, & Wii

[StFidjnr]

@gsn93 LOL

[jmoon219]

I remember the starcade show. I used to miss it but then someone would always post it on youtube. That was back when youtube first came out back in 1985.

[DjJohnnyM68]

dude!...youtube did not exist back in 1985...the internet barely even existed by the end of the decade..and then it was just a system of electronic bulletin boards (aka BBS) and it was this way at least until the mid 1990s...Youtube in 85....hahahaha..that's funny dude

[rmazing]

LOL

[BenJabituya]

I got this game on my Coleco Vision.

[phonedork]

And it does not even come close to the arcade my friend! Although it is the best homeversion.
