“Truly a great game. Worth a dollar play. I consider the layout of this game very nearly perfect. Excellent array of shots, ramps, moving parts. There is something about the gold edition that feels smoother about the play. This is the type of machine one can play for hours a day, days a week.”

“The Addams Family is one of the best designs of the 90's DMD generation (or any generation for that matter). Period. Testament to this design is that it is still on location 20+ years later, making money and the operators won't sell them.

The Pros:
Instead of spinning discs... we have the (magnetic) power! Love it or hate it... it's there. Great shots from all sides. A skillshot requiring skill. Starting multiball and touring the mansion are always a thrill! You think you are playing a great game and then BAM!.. you get worked. You struggle and flounder on your next game and you can't help it. You're hooked.

The Cons:
The train target is worthless. Would have been a great shot if it was a loop! I don't care for the random Cousin it award/score. I know this is part of the "Gold" package, but I think the original software is better. But these are minor design flaws ("Gold" features). The game's greatness is heads and shoulders above most others.

The Takeaway:
A great game for all (SHOW) time. Pat Lawlor and his amazingly talented team knocked it out of the park on this one. I could talk about it more and more, but chances are, there are other pin-heads out there who can elaborate on this great deck even more eloquently than I possibly could. Play it. Get it in your gameroom if you can. Fortunately, they made over 20k of them.”

“The original "Addams" but with more stuff. Just as good, if not better than the original.”

“Of course a SE was going to be made of the best selling pin of all time.”

“Don't like the gold colored jet caps but they are easily replaced. The gold bookcase and Thing box doesn't matter much to me either since I would put the aftermarket decals on them. I like the extra sound bites of the Gold ROMs but not the Cousin It's Hideout awards. I also prefer the blue colored cabinet art. Other wise it is not much different from the original.”

“Addams family is such a fun game and its a crowd favorite. 20k+ cant be wrong. I love the variety of shots and the excellent design provided by Pat Lawlor. The one draw back is the lighting sucks. If this isnt in a well lit space there are plenty of dark areas for the ball to disappear into but otherwise a great game.”

“Played at an arcade. I do not own this pin. This pin has GREAT visuals. Very appealing to the eye! I could have played it for hours on end! It has a great play field and fast action. I personally loved the theme and the music. I would love to own this pin someday.”

“Same rankings as the standard TAF, other than taking a point away for some of the ugly gold plastic stuff added to the playfield.”

“I am not a fan of these made for collector models.”

“How do you make the best pinball ever even better? This is how!

Finally got one too. #115”

“Not sure how this rates differently from TAF... But if there's anyone reading this that may be interested in knowing what the game's like, it's very similar to TAF (if you know that one), but with gold trim and some playfield stuff... it may also have a deeper rule-set...”

“Just a freaking fun and kooky and kinda spooky classic!”

“I want one of these... my brother and I played this shortly after they came out and he fell in love with it also. I hope to own one, one day.”

“Prefer the original because it looks cooler with ordinary side rails, Buy-In is another term for cheating and the Pops look better with normal colouring rather than 'gold'.”

“this doesn't deserve to be a separate entry in the top 100, simple AFM yellow”

“I had 4 TAF's before I got hold of a Gold. I got into pinballs as my name is Adams and a freind told me it was a cool pin so my 1st pin was a TAF, it would be the last game in my collection to go even over MM!!”

“Minor changes between this and the first Adams Family...both are basically the same. Top 10”

“This doesn't deserve to be a separate entry in the top 100, since it _is_ an Adams Family (no difference really). This is a protest vote. If I've violated any rules, I'm sorry and will withdraw my vote, but I gave it all Terribles to call attention to the fact that one game is taking up two slots in the rankings.”

“Own this machine from 1996, before this one I owned a standard version. It's obvious that it's similar to TZ but like this one more.”

“nothing too "special" about AF.”

“I really love this game as it truly resembles a collectors item and shows respect to the most successfull selling pinball machine of all time.”

“What can I say, I'm an Adams Family fan. Can't get enough of this game. not sure why I can't get into other pinball games like I do TAF”

“i prefer normal version though”

“Great game. love the extra buy in button at the end of the game under the shooter. one of pat,s best.”
