Quoted from lpeters82:

I own it, but like others I feel like the theme prevents it from reach A status.

Theme, rules, art and lower play field. Otherwise...

It’s the uniqueness and rareness that drive up the value.

Quoted from jackbot:

I am both humbled and thrilled that anyone is still talking about Congo 20+ years after it was released. During development, we had access to the movie script and knew pretty early that all of the 1980's technobabble from the book would not age well in the movie. So we focused as much as we could on making a jungle adventure game with elements from the movie. The overall goal was to make a game that was more accessible to new players, without being overly simple or easy. So, the rules are intentionally not as deep as some games. And it may not have as much content as current home market expects in a new pin. Is it an A list title like TAF or AFM? probably not. But I think it does approach the timeless appeal of games like CFTBL, BK2K or High Speed.

This is about the coolest post lately on Pinside.
