PLAY HINTS 1. At the beginning of the first screen there are some safe spots on the far left where you can avoid coconuts. 2. To cross the bridge notice that the coconuts come in waves. 3. On monkey plateau there are a few safe spots near the rivers edge. HOW TO PLAY Congo-Bongo consists of two separate jungle scenes. Above the jungle scenes you see player scores and to the right of each score is the number of lives that player has left indicated by small hunters. In the middle a number indicates which players turn it is. The bonus points and the play level are at the upper right corner of the screen. Screen #1 The first screen takes you to jungle mountain. Here you try to reach Congo at the top of his perch. You must climb up the mountain while avoiding the coconuts falling from the top of Congo's perch. You lose one of your three lives each time you: 1. Get hit by a coconut. 2. Fall into the water. 3. Fall off a ledge. 4. Bonus time runs out. When you jump across the chasm the cliff falls and you can't jump back. You then climb to monkey plateau. At the first level of play no monkeys jump on you. At the second level one monkey can jump on you, preventing you from going further. After the second level of play two monkeys can jump on you. From the fourth level if two monkeys are on you and a third collides with you they'll throw you over the cliff. To get monkeys off your back jump three times without changing directions. After you cross the river avoiding the coconuts you will reach Congo's perch then automatically move to the next screen. Screen #2 Now you've reached the great river. Try to cross the lagoon on lily pads by jumping on islands, hippos and fishes and once you've crossed watch out for charging rhinos on the other side. Just as in screen #1, the jungle dangers increase as the play levels advance. 1. The lily pads shrink each round. 2. At the first and second levels the fish wont open their mouths to snap at you. At levels three and four only the two fish on the far right open their mouths. From the fifth play level up all four fish open their mouths to snap at you. When you are on a fish that snaps you lose one life. The fish will warn you before they snap by changing their color to yellow. When you reach the other side of the river you have to watch for raging rhinos. When you reach the sleeping Congo you get to give him the hot foot he deserves. After a brief pause to enjoy your victory you automatically find yourself back at screen #1 but at the next, more difficult play level. On screen #2 you lose a life each time you: 1. Fall off a shrinking lily pad 2. Get eaten by a fish 3. Fall off a fish 4. Get hit by a raging rhino 5. Time runs out 6. Falling off an island 7. Falling off a hippo Good Luck!
