Congo's Caper

Congo's Caper

Released1992
Congo the monkey and his girl, Congette, were in the jungle minding their own business when a magic ruby dropped out of the sky and turned them both into half-humans. To make matters worse, the ruby also spawned a demon-kid who grabbed Congette and took off. Now you've got to hunt down the kid and find your girl, while adapting to your new form. You'll make your way through ghost towns, pirate ships, ninja castles, and the belly of a Tyrannosaurus on your search. There are 35 levels of side-scrolling action in all, and you'll have your hands full with tons of wild animals that will try to stand in your way. As you run, jump, swim, attack, and dive your way through the game, keep your eyes open for special gems that will give you special powers and open secret levels.

About This Game

Congo, a half-human primate hybrid transformed from his original simian form, embarks on a desperate quest to rescue his beloved Congette from her captors. Armed with agility and determination, he must navigate treacherous environments while managing his precarious state—any significant blow will regress him back into a helpless monkey. To overcome the odds, Congo can hunt down scattered rubies throughout his journey; gathering three of them grants him a temporary surge of extraordinary power, allowing him to tackle otherwise insurmountable obstacles and draw closer to his goal.
