Company History
Congames, a company founded by Condor Gandhi, announced themselves to the world by releasing their first console, the GamerCon.

Condor Ghandi had much interest in the gaming industry and was once the one with the most games in his city. He tried programming games since he was 11 years old. Condor thought it was so much fun that he studied at an academy for programming. After he completed his study he thought about opening a new game company, which would compete with Horse-Drawn Games.

Condor wanted to make better games then them, and wanted to make the people have fun with his games, because he didn't think Horse-Drawn Games deliver the content he can be giving. He thought about opening a game company a long time ago, but this time he felt he had to do it.

It was 3rd March, 1984. The day that Condor had opened the headquarters for Congames, located in Miami. He hoped to deliver high-quality content in a fast future.

After a long time his first game came out. It was called Adventure Sands and released on 11th July, 1984. The game went well, had good sales, and made him so much money that Condor had enough capital to think about making a console in the short-term future. He borrowed an extra $50,000 from the bank, and the rest is history.

Adventure Sands
Adventure Sands was an Indie text-adventure game that sold surprisingly well. Despite this, it relied on a technology used by PCs that was abandoned by manufacturers altogether shortly after release, making the game unplayable on modern PCs (as of 1986).

Because of this, not much is known about Adventure Sands, and Congames has neglected to mention it.

GamerCon
The GamerCon, which was announced on 23rd November, 1984 was not as complex as it could be. Condor Ghandi found a cheap factory who could mass produce the console quickly and went from there.

On the 19th of January, 1985 the GamerCon finally launched. It hoped to compete with Horse-Drawn Games' GameWagon which came out 9 days earlier. The GamerCon had 2 editions, the GamerCon Lite and the GamerCon Limited. They had a difference in prices by 100$, which means they are overall cheaper then the Gamewagon. The GamerCon Limited also came with a remake of Adventure Sands with it, totally free.

Unfortunately, whether by marketing or by lack of games, the GamerCon flopped. It's current status is unknown as the company is in the process of reopening it's doors. As of present it is considered unsupported, but not discontinued.
