Need some feed back. I have played Congo a hand full of times. I am getting one this weekend from a friend. Would love to know the pros and cons about this game. Sold my TOTAN so I have a empty spot in game room.

#10 9 years ago

So far Congo sounds great. I am looking forward to getting it this weekend. I have had over 125 pinballs run thru my house but never this one.

Quoted from Phetishboy:

I sold my TOTAN to buy a Congo. I owned my TOTAN for 2 months, I've owned my Congo for almost 3 years. Great pin, possibly my favorite of all time.

I have owned 2 TOTAN and just can't get into it.

WOW. This pin has alot of love and only a few dislikes. I am excited and can't wait. Thanks OTTOgd but will wait and experience the game play modes. Looks like the design by John Trudeau is a hit. And i may add that the art work by Kevin O'Connor is pretty cool too. How is the sound/music? Played it at the Allentown show but could not hear it at all. Very loud there with all the other pinballs. I can watch videos but its difference in person.

As soon as I get it tomorrow I will check it out. I have started to Mirror Chrome my AFM from Mike and it looks great.

Quoted from Lonzo:

I know the feeling. It was my first pin and I had no idea it was coming. I thought the whole game crashed and for about a second all I could think about was how am I gonna fix this. Lol

Cant wait to experience this.

Wow. That probably changes my mind. Mirror Chrome looks fantastic on Congo.

Okay! Here are a few pictures of the Congo i got today. Boy she needs a complete tear down. Flippers rebuilt, all new rubbers, etc.. Lots of tlc. But i love doing this so its going to be fun. Question for Congo owners, this one is all white on the sides and backbox. Is this faded or were there two different color Congos around? If its faded, it sure looks evenly faded. LOL
