King Kong by Stern

Thanks to @KevM we stopped by Arcade Monsters yesterday to check out Kong. Absolutely loved it and came away wanting one - prob would have put the order in then and there if it wasn’t for JJP Potter.

The shots are incredible and I love that it feels like an original theme as opposed to an IP. Code seems decent for a game that just came out, and there’s some fun ideas in there too - like a ball lock that turns the next mode you play into a two ball multiball adds some strategy.

The moving Kong figure / subway ball lock is cool and the multiball start is a great pinball moment but the real upgrade from the Pro is the Gong. Very satisfying to hit and also the only shot that felt dangerous when it kicks back.

Can’t wait to get more time in on one.

Nice one for sharing! We’ll hopefully have our Kong premium soon at Chief if you’re in London.
 
Played the LE, Premium and Pro at the EPC - I think no one will be disappointed, it flows very nicely and they have a few interesting features. Although some of the game had a canny resemblance to the uncanny X-men with the curly wire forms, post in the middle and weird feed to the left flipper.
 
This thing shoots amazing!!
