The Free Bongo 1.2 Update

The following Bongo 1.2 Update download has a number of important updates. One of them is an easier easy mode for younger players (and their teachers). The Bongo eating plants are a little more tame too. We've also added a "save game" option so you can pick up where you left off.  This is not a bug fix. These are all new features and tweaks. See the list of updates we've made.

About the 1.2 Download: This download isn't small. It's 10 megabytes. With a fast connection you'll get it in less than a minute. If you don't have a CD burner, and DSL or Cable modem speeds, I strongly recommend you find someone who does. I promise you this: the update is worth the effort.

The download file is in the popular "zip" file format. Most recent computer and experienced users have an 'unzipping' utility already on their computer. If you do not, download a free trial copy of Winzip from www.winzip.com. 
 

How to Download the Version 1.2 Bongo Update:

1. Make sure you already have version 1.1 or 1.11 installed. Check your Bongo CD.

2. Click this download link to get the 1.2 Update zip file. "Save" the file to your desktop. The file size is about 10 mb. A fast internet connection is suggested!

3. Once downloaded, burn the downloaded file to a CD and take it to the computer(s) where you have Bongo installed. 

4. Execute the 1.2 installation file found on your burned CD. "Extract" it to the folder where you have your original Bongo program installed (probably c:\bongo) It will install the 1.2 update to your computer. You may install the update on as many computers where you have Bongo already installed.

5. Enjoy Bongo!
