Quoted from mwong168:

I've never seen the movie before and wonder if I should? I know The Shadow call outs make a hell of a lot more sense after suffering through it.
"The sun is shining but the ice is slippery"

Both of these pins are a lot better than the movies they are based on. (But is that really so uncommon ?)
Of the two movies, Shadow comes closer to being a near miss, whereas Congo is a pretty bad botch all around.

I have favorable memories of having played the Congo pin, and would welcome the chance to do so again. There was a supposedly pristine one up for sale in SoCal not that long ago, but I think they were asking at least $3,600. for it.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

This game is strictly for Ernie Hudson fanatics and for people who can't get enough of lame video modes.

Aren't you forgetting the estimable Tim Curry ("Rocky Horror", et al), who rarely fails to go delightfully over the top, and who also figures in both film and pin for The Shadow ?
