I was at a pin party last night and John Trudeau was there (Congo designer). Great time speaking with him and hearing some tales from the industry. Very personable guy and a pleasure to chew the pin fat with. Also at table was Stan Fukuoka who did the artwork on BBB, Breakshot and King Pin. More pin history.
John pointed out that the layout for Congo is very similar to Tron. Darn if he isn't right!
