Congo Bongo (Rev C, 2 board stack)
Sega • 1983
Also known as: Tip Top


Navigate lush jungle environments in Sega’s Congo Bongo, a cooperative platformer released in 1983 for two players. As ape characters, you must work together to traverse precarious ledges, climb vines, and avoid pitfalls while collecting bananas scattered throughout each level. The game requires coordinated jumps and strategic positioning to progress, as one player's actions directly impact the other’s ability to advance. Congo Bongo is a two-board version of an earlier Sega title, originally developed in Japan. Gameplay involves constant movement across brightly colored screens, with obstacles demanding precise timing and teamwork to overcome. The shared objective encourages communication and coordination between players as they strive toward the level's end. This arcade release features a vibrant aesthetic and straightforward controls, providing a readily accessible experience for players of all skill levels seeking cooperative gameplay.
