I had a Congo for a while years and unloaded it for 1500 about 4 years ago. The game is OK but nothing special... just a bunch of disconnected modes with no cohesion. The gorilla toy can be beaten by flailing... the volcano is pretty cool, especially when the tip breaks off and it starts throwing pinballs all over the place. The music is by far the best part of the game. Upgrade the speakers so you get the bass out of the diamond hunt cha-cha.

I predict this game being a passing fad, and it will fade away as people get bored with it and more Stern and JJP games come out. But, who knows. I know I'm done with it.

Hey, to each their own. It just gets kinda boring... the only strategy is making sure you grab locks as soon as they light, so collected diamonds always go towards the next lock. Otherwise, it's pretty mindless. Skill Fire is pretty cool, and the music is great... but otherwise this is an average pin with substandard toys and wizard mode IMHO. Oh, and Tim Curry could go away as well. Glad people are throwing cash at this one and not games I like

No, just the Congo.. still got a bunch! I never filled out my pinside list.. it got stuck on Dracula back in the day and I haven't gotten around to it since.

Some were parted for valuable (at the time) WPC95 boards. Congo was considered a turd back then. I guess someone polished it recently...
