Ok so im looking for my next pin and really want a i500 or congo. I have a little time on each and like them both alike.both are pretty rare and made in the same year and are both around 3k give or take a few hundred.which would u choose for lastibility and and gameplay . Also I like pretty difficult pins that I dont beat everything in a few weeks?thax any input would help
Quoted from OldSchoolBlood:I see you do not have The Shadow in your collection. As good as Congo and Indy 500 are, The Shadow is better than both.
Yes this is another that I have found and am contiplateing about but they are definitely more common and wanted to get the rarer pin first
Quoted from Guinnesstime:Never played Congo, but I500 is my cheapest, hardest, and favorite pin in my collection. I'd rather play it over Metallica and LOTR on a given day.
I hated "difficult" pins until this one. It's real fast, the turbo shot is tough unless you combo it with the left loop (still have to time it right). There are no scoops to temporarily hide balls during multi ball. Every thing is out there and you fight for control. Plenty of modes at the 3rd shot in "Gasoline Alley" is crucial to winning the 500 properly.
You can get through all modes and still not truly win it. You need to complete 200 laps, pass enough cars to get into 1st place and complete all modes and hit victory lap. I did it once and have played hundreds of games.
It'll frustrate the heck out of you, but you can increase ball save times to make it a little more playable.
It an awesome 10 min. game.
I like difficult games as my favorites are tz, ft and bsd
Quoted from mwong168:I'm sure most have seen Bowen's recent I500 tutorial on PAPA's website but I saved this one that I found many years ago. Enjoy!
