You're a hunter on a jungle safari. The jungle is full of creatures determined to give you a run for your life but none of them can match the mischief of CONGO BONGO, the jungle gorilla.

On the first screen you'll have to climb Jungle Mountain to get the gorilla. Climb the cliffs and leap across the chasm. Don't get a monkey on your back or you won't get anywhere. Watch out for the coconuts CONGO will throw your way. They're deadly!

The second screen takes you to the Great Jungle River in your search for CONGO BONGO. You'll have to cross the river by hopping on hippos, floating lily pads and man-eating fish. Once you cross you'll have to deal with charging rhinos and they're no fun. One slip and it's safari heaven!

* To cross the bridge, notice that the coconuts come in waves.

* On Monkey Plateau, there are a few safe spots near the river's edge.

* On screen number one you can safely jump over the river any place along its bank. The further away from the white water edge the safer it is to jump.
