Stern doesn’t release production numbers, but based on estimates that I have seen online it appears as though it made between 5,000 and 7,000 LOTRs.

An unknown number were produced. I’ve only ever seen one go up for sale. It was completely trashed and it went for HUGE money.

Supposedly, Ikegami Tsushinki used Donkey Kong and Zaxxon code (which the Company had already created for SEGA) to create Congo Bongo.

The game was at least partially coded by a company named Ikegami Tsushinki, which interestingly was originally commissioned by Nintendo to do programming for Donkey Kong. After a legal dispute between them and Nintendo, they created Kongo Bongo for SEGA.
