Quoted from Whysnow:It has been funny to watch this title in particular. Lots of the old school collectors passed it over based on theme because they felt it was the weakest theme of the WPC-95 games. That was back in the day when they were sub 2k.
Didn't pass over this game.. I owned it back in the day. Paid 1500 and sold for 1500 a couple years later. Best part of the game is the music.. I added amps and better speakers.. the diamond-hunt multiball cha-cha really thumped.
Yes it is somewhat rare. No, it is not that great. Congo is just a collection of disconnected modes with no real coherence, with a very basic main multiball and disappointing wizard mode. The volcano is cute, but the lower playfield is a flailfest. It's nice that some folks really like this title, but after a couple years I found it boring. To each their own.
