UK Machine Record
Congo
Williams · 1995 · at 1 UK venue.
Congo takes the world of the 1995 adventure film and turns it into a jungle expedition. Williams’ design sends the player searching for diamonds while dealing with gorillas, the Lost City and the dangers of the jungle.
The central Congo features give the machine its identity, while the various ramps and targets represent different stages of the expedition. Progress is built around collecting diamonds and surviving long enough to reach the bigger objectives.
The game rewards players who understand the expedition rather than simply shooting for the most obvious target. Find the diamonds and don’t let the jungle distract you from the mission.
