ENDED - The Weekly Game Challenge - Congo Bongo!!

A little Congo Bongo action this morning, to bad we are terrible at it but it's still fun playing with my son on a Sat morning.

Just played a few games last night. Absolutely hate the controls - unless it's just my setup. Playing on a Ms Pac Anniversary cab loaded with Arcade SD and switchable stick set to 4 way.

Can't get past the snakes in the 2nd level. Any tips?
 
the joystick is supposed to be a 4-way rotated 45°, like Q*bert

So depending how ArcadeSD interprets the controls, it should either be in 8-way mode and the board would interpret the diagonals correctly, or in 4-way mode it would have to be physically rotated if the board interprets single inputs as the diagonal like the original

You should be able to tell while playing, if you can move with the isometric view easily, as in diagonal movement, you're probably right... if you're getting stair stepping in the movement its probably not

At least on my dedicated, there is no moving straight up and down or left and right

Switching to 8 way made a huge difference. Tripled my measly score instantly!
 
Really enjoyed this. I wouldn't have invested any time in Congo Bongo if not for this challenge. Thanks to Griffin for developing a neat platform and the Arcade Hangout guys for incorporating this into the weekly show.

Would be neat to do Zookeeper or Time Pilot or even one of the Kongs/remixes sometime.

Well....win the weekly game and you get to pick the next game. Haha
 
I dislike that Simian, he can stick the torch where the sun don't shine. 23k effort for tonight. Only got to the 4th screen one time.

Interesting. How do you get to 23k and get to 4th screen? There must be some point possibilities I didn't notice. I got to the 4th screen only once the other night but only got 13k

He may have been jumping in and out of the holes on the rhino level - 1000 points each. I always seem to get stuck half way in or out of those holes and lose a life.

I cleared the 4th screen yesterday with two lives to spare and lost them both on the 2nd round first screen where the snake appears in the center. Only got 17k and change overall despite clearing 4th screen.

Good point. I did notice the points option with the holes. I guess I'm concentrating too much on passing the rhino level. I always take the bottom upper right route and then cutover to upper left.
 
Still just under 36 hours left in this challenge, come on people, somebody out there can break that 100k barrier!!!!

Woo Hooo
 
shit, I'll be happy to break the 10k barrier!!
