“Now that's a pinball game, good sound, some difficult shots, good variation, only downside is the path of adventure if it's not working properly.......it's a keeper for sure !!!!”

“They did an excellent job incorporating the Indy theme with an exciting well rounded pinball machine. The sound is good and fits the play very well. You got planes, 3D playfield, fun multi-ball. It is a classic no doubt.”

“I have only had this for about 2 weeks... Instant classic! Very easy to play, keeps you coming back. The only downside is that it may be too easy... Games last 15 to 10 minutes and I have not even figured out what I need to do yet...”

“This game has a great appearance and great looking playfield, however I didn't think the gameplay was as strong as many of the others who have reviewed this game....having said that, I never owned it and only played sporadically in the arcades....I will have to go back and play again and see what I missed....”

“I just bought this game after about 30 plays I can honestly say at #5 this game is under rated way better than Monster Mash & Twilight Zone of which I own T. Z”

“Love the theme but the orbits are too tight and the drop targets in front cause ball to hit glass. The mode start hole is a problem also. Have owned it for 2 months now and am ready to move on.”

“Very fun game. I love the quotes, the three video modes and the 6 ball multiball is awesome. The music and artwork are great. I especially like the fact that the color scheme is way different from most other machines. The orange really stands out in a line up. With 12 modes and a couple of other goals there is a lot of stuff to do on this game. The only drawbacks to me are the auto plunger (I hate them), no skill shot and the ball bounces out of the mode hole when hit hard but this can be mitigated with some Pinbits no-rebound foam and proper adjustment of the stop. Also, the game seems bouncy in the lower half, will try black rubber when these wear out. At least the auto plunger looks like a gun which is a whole lot better than a stupid button but it isn't used for anything like it is in LW3 or JP so is kinda wasted. Flippers need to be in top shape to make it up to the Path of Adventure. What I like about this widebody is the lower playfield is normal width so it doesn't feel like a widebody. This one's a keeper.”

“Great theme for any Indy fan, and so well executed! There are only a few better games out there, but for me, this and STNG are the best games with pop culture themes. It is one of those games that provides long play sessions with a few difficult tasks to keep you coming back for more. It's a joy.”

“Just picked up my dream machine and love it! Lots of variety in the quotes, modes, shots, etc. I agree the lack of a skill shot is a bit of a letdown but that's about the only knock on this game. Shot placement was well thought out when they were designing this machine's layout. Lots of fun multi-ball modes, great Dot Matrix animations, fun video modes, great music, and as for the theme: there is no better pinball theme than Indiana Jones! (Who really watches the Twilight Zone or Addams Family shows anymore?) Only problem with my table is that there's a problem that causes it to think I've locked balls (when I haven't) and Short Round will randomly yell "You cheat, Dr Jones" and award 5mil. Once I figure out how to fix those, this baby will be perfect. Highly recommended, excellent replay and collector value.”

“It is OK. Not as good as i expected. not worth the money. The playfeild is too open - did not need to be a wide body. A good game but maybe overrated.”

“What a surprise, the first Pinball i did sell after two weeks, cant fall in Love withit. I hate the poor design and the boring rules also.
Absolute overrated Pin even Demolition Man is better to play...”

“Since I sold mine, it has been a while since I played this game. I remember it being a bit slow. I got a chance to play it again at the show in Rochester. Maybe it was just this particular one but again it seems very slow to me, almost boring. The shots didn't feel that great, and while the rules are good everything felt like it was moving in mud. Again maybe just this machine.”

drbond rated this machine on March 02, 2010 with a score of 9.600 and said:
“This game is an absolute killer! Its not enough that this game has the IJ theme already. Super fun throwback gameplay to the late great 80's pins. Lots of fun drop targets, and some sweet ramps. The dot matrix animations are the best in DMD pinball (CFTBL follows closely behind). You'll laugh out loud at some of these. "You chose, poorly" animation always makes me crack up (cut to a scene of a guy screaming and being melted). Lots of video modes, and all are awesome! The tilting mini-playfield is super cool, as are the toys on the playfield! Art package is simply stunning. Tons of movie quotes and beautifully done music. The DCS sound in Mark Ritchie's game is nothing short of mind-blowing. If only his brother Steve, hadn't worked on the bar-setter STTNG. This game is very challenging for those looking for one. Only minor gripe is that it doesn't have much flow with all the drop target shooting. Funny that since 1993, it still beats out the Stern IJ that came out not too long ago.”

“Very fun williams widebody, great game overall, wonderful theme. To be honest though, demolition man has more flow. :/ there I said it.”

“Had a TZ and grew bored of it so traded it on an IJ. IJ was definetly a better game to play, it kept me interested and wanting more. But after awhile it just got so frustrating to get the ball where you wanted it to go. 80% of the time it would bounce out of the mode shot or hit one of the many posts on the PF and go no where. Would i get another one..... no i prefer to play my Demo man.”

“This is the game that I chased all over metro detriot to play for years in the late 90's. The best game every made head and shoulders above all other games.”
