The player takes the role of a red-nosed safari explorer who tries to catch an ape named "Bongo". The explorer seeks Bongo to enact revenge for an apparent practical joke in which Bongo set fire to the hunter's tent, giving him a literal "hotfoot". He must pursue the ape across four different screens, with the goal of moving from the lower left corner to the upper right corner of every screen. He must overcome obstacles like falling coconuts, charging rhinos, and avoiding falls into the water. | The player takes the role of a red-nosed safari explorer who tries to catch an ape named "Bongo".

The game was a commercial failure when it was released, but was popular enough to be ported to nearly ever major platform of its day. In an usual move for Sega, they retained all of the publishing rights instead of licensing them out, as they had done with [[Zaxxon]]. They developed conversions for several systems including Atari's consoles, MSX, Intellivision, ColecoVision, Commodore 64 and IBM PC. | The game was a commercial failure when it was released, but was popular enough to be ported to nearly ever major platform of its day.

Congo Bongo received an enhanced remake and port on the PlayStation 2 as part of the compilation Sega Ages 2500 Vol 23: Sega Memorial Collection. | ||
