This was actually one of my first music games. It hit gamers a wee bit before Guitar Hero and Rock Band stole the show.

Donkey Konga used a bongo drum as it’s gimmick in the music genre of games. I actually enjoyed this device more than most others. It was fun and simple, just like how it should be. Not five fingers on six keys while hitting another key with the other hand.

It’s a shame the soundtrack was so lackluster. It was mainly a couple of classic Nintendo songs, original Donkey Kong songs, and “real” songs that are lame, even for kids. I should have imported the Japanese version.
