Congo
Williams, 1995Tim Curry callouts and the music are really good! Ok Amy is...weird and its getting less iritating as I play but, after playing X-men at expo I realize who important entertaining callouts are...
And I like the way it plays although my high score is pretty low still.
Quoted from mrpostman:Sick brag on owning a Congo...
hehe I watched for a year for the right one!
I was worried when I heard the amy callouts after playing only in arcade settings. Its way different when you can hear it.
Quoted from DougPiranha:There is one in st louis. I paid a bit less but still looks nice.
Huh, according to the ebay listing that machine resides in New Jersey.

But yes, Congo is super fun and easily the best purchase I have made so far.
Quoted from mrpostman:Thanks for that. ^
No problem, the CL add is looking a bit fraudulent. I knew I recognized that low-rider Congo from somewhere.
Quoted from DougPiranha:I told him via text that 2800 was too high. I said it used to be $1500 but 2k is about right for a nice one. If its mint, $2200 is not too bad.
I had one in near mint condition that I sold within 2 weeks of listing it for $2300. That also happens to be what I paid for it. Congo is a fun pin for sure with great sound and shot layout. I miss it. Congrats DougPiranha!!
I had mine for 4 days its a great machine! Tonight it shut off and midnight madness came up on the screen and balls kept being fired up the shooter it was mayhem and real fun
After I quickly surfed the web and found out what I had experienced
Regards Dave
Sent him a offer of around 2k too. The only thing that bothered me was that it looked to be out of a storage locker. Acid damage? No reply. Guess he is going to wait it out. Picking up another pin from Chicago this weekend. Hate to make the drive, but you do what you have to.
Congo is an awesome game!
I was thinking on selling a machine to finance Tron and my wife said: "you are not selling the monkey are you?????"... and i said: "of course not...the monkey rocks!"
- i will NEVER sell this one -

Those are'nt his pics, he did not have pics...kinda weird with the bad communication. This one may be a scam or something.

What did you get? I am guessing my CFTBL was too expensive after I did not hear back from my PM?
Don't laugh, but I'm picking up a Austin Powers. Little more in my budget right now and with it being in the bar I am sure it will do well. South Park is still the biggest money maker out of my games right behind the Skee Ball machines. Creech is still on my list, trying to maybe sell off one or two games to help get a B/W game. I only have the one right now.
