Trivia
The last game to be produced at the old Williams production facility (California Avenue) which was home of the very first Williams Machines. After Congo, pinball production was moved to the new facility in north-east Illinois. Congo was also produced as a conversion kit. Operator would then only buy the playfield and game roms and put them in one of their existing WPC cabinet.
