A more colorful, accessible Joe and Mac follow up, lacking the original's bite but pleasant throughout. Short and snappy.

Collector interest

A colourful sequel to Joe & Mac from Data East, Congo's Caper reaches Europe in a short PAL run with a multilingual manual, making it noticeably harder to find complete than the American version. A brief but brisk prehistoric platformer, it appeals to fans of underrated SNES platformers and PAL Data East completists. Loose it stays affordable; complete in a clean European box it gains real extra desirability as a niche PAL rarity.
