That is a seriously nice resto. Congrats!

The paint can might have the "mix" they made, if you can post that for A.R... That would be cool info to have available.
 
Yep, nice work. I just got mine going yesterday, all it needed was a monitor. I forgot the joystick play was like QBert, this a pretty fun game, sounds are somewhat lame though. Where did you get the CPO from? Mine is fairly beat up, and my side art is mostly torn off, if you find some let us know.
 
ok so I have now played a game of Congo Bongo - I made it to the fifth screen the very first time I played it... is it supposed to be this easy? And wow - what a donkey kong rip-off lol Oh well - still wanted it in my collection....
Anyone have some side art
 
You must have found an NOS overlay somewhere if you scanned the cpanel first.

Did you ever get with Steve to possibly send him your scans if you weren't going to pursue the artwork....

Check your DIP settings. It's either set to "easy," or you're really good at it. :) Anything past screen 3 is above average if it's set to "hard" or above.

Excellent job on the resto too. Congo Bongo is influenced by DK, sure, but it's a great game in its own right. Now start training for "King of Congo."

Board 6-2 is when the red snakes that don't leave their island start making an appearance. Difficulty seriously ramps up then.

CB is an odd game in that it takes a bit of time to max out the difficulty whereas something like Gorf maxes its difficulty way too early. I think this makes CB much more fun though since there is something to look forward to later on in the game.
 
Want one...

Thanks guys... yeah side art would complete this baby....
I literally just finished it - I havent even played a full game yet...

Great job!! Just great!

Its one of my favorite games and the LAST on my "grail" list...been looking for a while. Found one about two years ago that I am kicking myself for not picking up,but at the time I wasn't collecting because of a new baby...damn kids! lol
