Rickster8 Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 My first Congo Bongo entry.... It's a cute 'fun' game, but it's so delicate, meaning the guy dies so fkin easily that it flat out ruins the game..... 🙄 23,490 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpisacane Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Well, here are my first scores. Nothing to write home about, but I guess I'm on the board: Vectron: 27,460 Congo Bongo: 5,750 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpisacane Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I do have a quick question. How the hell do you hold the controller so you can effectively hit both sides buttons when playing Vectron? I can't figure anything out that works well... 🤔😩😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpisacane Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Was able to take another crack at Congo Bongo and I improved a bit: Congo Bongo: 19,850 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster8 Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 My Congo Bongo Update: This game could really use a 3rd stage.

fakecortex Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I did slightly better years ago when I played it here, but I'm not sure how. I can't seem to build on the lower left, and I think it's a limitation of the controller on emulator. Vectron - 2,400 Congo Bongo - 4,760 Might not be the controller that's keeping me from doing well on this one 😕 What keeps me from playing much here, and getting excited to play, is emulation honestly. I bet we all agree that INTV games work best on original hardware. While I have a bunch of games, whenever I have to emulate one, it's hit or miss on how it'll control 😕 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vectron does use the extra diagonals in an Intellivision controller. An analog stick can work as long as you spring back to center after every shot.
