A little while back I wrote an article about one of the best WPC games, Congo, for Seattle's Skill Shot pinball zine. The article was posted on their website recently, and I thought it would be of interest to at least some people on this forum. Anyway, take a look if you so desire! It covers a bit about the features of the game and has some tips on how to play the game for a high score, especially in tournament play.

How does the HIPPOS/Lower collect work? Is it just hitting X number of pops lights the collect and when the ball dribbles down there you get points? I've seen the hippo value get up pretty high, but it's not something i've ever focused on.
