    That is one hot lookin' Congo! I'm really pissed at myself for letting mine go some years ago, and am now on the lookout for another... actually found one for sale last night, but will require a 1200mile round journey to get it and will cost me twice as much as I sold mine for!! Still, seriously thinking about it, and seeing yours in that shape has strengthened my determination to get it!

    Well done dude!

    Lots of similarities on the playfield layout to Tron I've noticed... not that that's relevant, just an observation...

    Quoted from NimblePin:

    I actually don't have a photo for that one

    That really does surprise me NP!

    Quoted from NimblePin:

    TG on a light-cycle?
    Swinging from a Recognizer?
    Disc battle against a banana?

    I feel some interesting mods on the horizon!!

    You beat him to it Dude

    Looks like I missed out on the Congo that was for sale... I called the seller at about 5pm yesterday, only to be told that he'd reserved it for a guy 4 hours previously... had I called him in the morning he'd have reserved it for me, but I was too busy looking on Pinside! With a LOT of luck, the guy will decide not to buy the machine on Friday, but at $1500, he'd be stupid not to... looks like a very tidy example too, no cab fade and 100% working, good DMD etc...

    Ah well, another will come my way no doubt!

    Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:

    Do you really have 55 pins? Do you put them on location? Either way I am jealous you get to experience so many pins!

    Well, that doesn't include the EMs Experience is not the word though... I only have one set up to play at any one time... (Tron at the moment)... the rest are in storage... I really need to get a games room built here so I can experience them properly!! But with a 2 and 5 year old to raise, free time is very rare!!

    Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:

    something to dream about you know.

    That dream keeps my passion alive!! I just hope no-one decides arson is the way forward with the storage complex I'm using in the meantime

    Swapped Tron for Strange Science last night by the way... looks like an interesting game to be honest... looking forward to 'discovering' it... that Atom Crusher thing looks weird, it's hard to even figure out what's going on there... will have to play it tonight to find out! (was too late last night by the time I let the thing thaw out after bring it in from the cold).

    I can't believe it, but the guy who was supposed to be going to look at the Congo that was for sale at 1000euro ($1500) didn't turn up, so I've now got a shot at it!! I've got someone to go round there ASAP and take it away... (it's a 500mile journey for me, so a friend's helping out 'till I'm in the area)... so if all goes to plan, it's as good as mine!! I was sure I'd lost that one and can't believe it's still there!!

    How's your enjoyment of the game panning out after a weeks playing TDA?

    Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:

    Did your friend end up picking it up for you or is it still in the works?

    The deal is done dude, it's at my friends waitng for me to pick it up!!

    Glad you're enjoying yours!! I'm so much looking forward to getting mine set up... it will bump the Strange Science when I eventually get it home!

    Even though I had to pay almost twice as much as the one I sold, I'm still very happy to get it... Panic sales are never a good idea!
