Request CONGO Pinball Table

[Ekimrelooc76]

The last time I saw one was way back in the late '90s. I'd love to play it again. It had some fun features to it as I remember. The three I liked the most were the video mode where you use the flipper buttons to choose the right path to find diamonds, the "Super Multiball"(which had 5 balls on the play field at once), and the special multiball event "Midnight Madness"(sometimes it seemed like there were 6 or more balls in play). One guy thought I broke the machine when he heard it shut down then start going nuts.I think the table was made by Williams in the mid '90s. Any idea if you guys can get your hands on it?

Looks like a cool pin. The movie is hilariously bad. Wouldn't think the license would cost that much.

Would be nice. Would like to see this alongside The Shadow. Licences involved, but after the Sony deal, never say never.

What about X-files?

It's a paramount film. They just did business with them on Addams family. So who knows... It looks like a really fun table.

 

[Ekimrelooc76]

It was great fun.

Congo is a blast. Got to play it at the FL. Arcade Expo, and its the pin I spent the most time on that whole weekend. Would love this table in TPA!

I know a pinball place who has it, but as they have around 100 pins I missed this one.
Will check it out next time. People speak very positively about it.

It's a great pin. In my personal top 5 unreleased tables I'd like to see added into the game.

Williams had quite a knack for turning questionable licenses into great pinball machines. Congo seems to be another example. Though I've never played it, it looks worthy for TPA, judging by the design. The theme would be a great break from the norms, although not as great as the "never-to-appear-on-TPA-unless-kickstarted" Jurassic Park.

Think they could pull off congo without a kickstarter?

Depends if the film studio will cooperate like Sony has with Ghostbusters and unspecified upcoming tables. It has actor likenesses on it, which could be problematic.

I don't know this table at all, but that lower playfield looks great.

It's a fun table with a good amount to do. It would be a shame if licensing costs got in the way of it. The same goes for The Shadow. You could do both and arrange a discount on Tim Curry's likeness fee

The comicbook style artwork on Congo is classic!

Y'know, I don't think I've EVER seen this at the Expo I go to.

Was at the last one I went to. Very popular machine, actually. I think the colours draw people in.

Never played it irl but it's a beautiful table and looks like a lot of fun. I sincerely hope FS decides to release this table at some point.

 

[Kolchak357]

The lower playfield is boring and silly to me. But I think the rest of the pin is super. Has FS ever commented on if the license is doable? I can't recall.

What does the subplayfield do? Raging Monkey?
