Had one for years and miss it sometimes.... layout is top notch and rules are fun but they cld use some work and the theme is just ok at best. I think its a solid b title with value of 4-5k . If it was king kong theme it wld be a top pin and worth much more .
Quoted from lpeters82:I've often felt that Creature From The Black Lagoon, Congo, Fish Tales, White Water, and Shadow would make for a damn good five machine collection.
I had most of those for a collection at one point... it was great
Quoted from Yoko2una:If you have one that doesn't work well or has crap switches. Our 2nd one had a rebuild lower PF and played MUCH better. Ball at rest, Gray will either hit the 2nd or 4th letters in Congo (depending on what arm the ball is on). To get the 1st and 5th letters, you actually need to bring the arm backwards (press the opposite button) and then flip forward to have the ball hit the outer switches. The 'N' in the middle is from hitting the ball around while in motion.
Trying to hit all 5 shots, without flailing and being lucky (which does work some of the time) is tough and fun, and the progressively harder goals of Gray (timer and shots disappearing if no other letters hit) makes it a very functional and fun lower PF. Then trying to maybe get one of those last letters to open up Super Jackpot during Super MB is wildly fun.
I rebuilt mine and used thicker foam on the targets and a smaller ball and it was much more difficult and fun and took some skill to beat .
