Congo: The Game, also known as Congo: Secret of Zinj, is an unreleased Sega Mega Drive and Super Nintendo Entertainment System game based on the 1995 film Congo. Both versions were developed simultaneously by Visual Concepts.
The game went through a rough development cycle. A proprietary engine was created in the first nine months of development, but due to a radical shift in the project's direction all work done for it was scrapped and the project was restarted, with only five months until the August 1995 deadline set by publisher Viacom New Media. Although the game was reportedly completed within the last five months of work, negative playtesting feedback from Viacom and the film being a critical failure led to the game's cancellation for both platforms.
Prototypes of both versions had surfaced onto the internet, with the Mega Drive version being in a less complete state than the SNES version.
