Okay, so Congo: The Movie - Secret of Zinj is one of those weird mid-90s SNES games based on a movie you barely remember. You start off in the jungle with this clunky little pistol, and within minutes you're getting ambushed by gorillas—which, yeah, makes sense if you've seen the film. The controls take some getting used to, but once you figure out the awkward jump mechanics, it's kinda fun in a "what even is this?" way.

The levels are these maze-like jungle paths with random pitfalls and vines to swing on (badly). Sometimes you find these ancient temple sections that look cool for a 16-bit game, even if the collision detection makes you want to throw your controller. And yeah, there's a story here—something about lost diamonds and a ghost city—but let's be real, you're mostly here to shoot monkeys and hope the next checkpoint isn't impossibly far away.

It's not a hidden gem or anything, but if you're into janky movie tie-ins or just want to see how they turned a jungle thriller into a side-scrolling shooter, it's worth a laugh. Just don't expect it to hold up like the classics.
