Usually don't like widebody but the theme, memories, and challenging modes make this a big winner. Just a beautiful, well put together experience once you find one that is well taken care of.

One of the best pins ever- if you grew up watching Indiana Jones. For everybody else, probably limited appeal. Great creativity and there is the definite feel of an adventure. Game experience depends largely on mode start success- skill and willingness of ball to stay in. Great quotes, music, and missions.

Love this Game! I tested/played a lot of pins before deciding to make acquiring this machine a priority. Saved up and spent quite a few pennies but I do not regret it one bit; each game is different and keeps you coming back for more. After a couple weeks I am already getting better at placing my shots -- good aim is helpful for a good score. Loved the movies in my younger days and each mode brings those memories/moments in the film back clear as day. If you are an Indiana Jones fan you will love this game!

One of my very favorites. Indiana Jones IMO has the best sounds and music of any of the games that I have played. MM has way more humor - and TZ has more variety - but for me all of the sounds in IJ makes me think of adventure. All of the aspects of IJ really work together and it is the closest I have to come to playing a pinball machine that is more *game* and less *pinball* - if that makes any sense.

The game has a couple of minor flaws. The game can be a bit slow, and at times the video modes can take you off of your game rhythm. However, it offers a great variety and some very fun multiballs. It is a keeper.

I find this playfield too closed in... I like long shots. This feels to me like if you can get it off the flipper, you're gonna hit something. Theme is spot on. Artwork is great.

This is great game! My #9. I loved playing it! I have to think about my rating on this - since it was really noisy in the arcade. Subject to change. I could hardly get near it in 4 different arcades, and finally got to play it 3 years later.

Kind of sluggish game like a TZ and just about as many toys /gimmicks . loads of video modes and very deep rules / Never mastered the game before I sold it for something better

Probably the game that gets the most plays in the house. Great theme, layout and rule set make this a classic. A must have in any collection.

One of the greats, every pinhead should have at some point owned this game, it has it all and is one of the most fun games ever. The artwork inside and out is perfect for the era it was made and the theme and simply gorgeous to look at, DMD animations are superb and some of the best to ever come out of willaims and then there is the shots, each shot is joy to hit oh and an upper playfield that doesn't completely suck!

Just like the original films in the franchise this pin is the definitive Indiana Jones pinball experience.

I owned this for a while, but could not get drawn to it. That's probably not a very helpful review, and I'm sure it's probably because I didn't explore it deeply enough, but it felt like do this, then do that, then do this again sort of progression. I guess a lot of pinball is like that, but I expected more engagement, and couldn't find it.

The modes were good, but lacked some polished theatrics - the sound, music, visuals, & light shows could have been better. Maybe that is the best technology back then. (???) The game was fun to play and that is important to me, but some of the other ratings bring it back down. Maybe some mods would help spruce it up a bit.

I really wanted to like playing this pin since Indiana Jones is one of my favorite movie characters. Unfortunately, I just don't feel it (played at Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas and Pacific Pinball Museum in SF). I just couldn't get into any flow and just couldn't connect with the table at all. Maybe I just need to play even more.

Great game. I think that is one of the best Pinball machine ever made by the King of Pinball manufacturer, Williams.

Splendid pinball table that really captures the feel for the movies. I have only played it in an arcade setting but would love to play it at home one day with John Williams soundtrack blasting in the background.

Now Indiana Jones is how you execute a wide body pin design. This, to me, is what The Hobbit should have taken a clue from. The play field is packed with variation and things to do.

What's great about Indy is you can easily start modes and they're completable. It's not easy by any means but you can see the whole game (unlike, say, Ghostbusters, where you're playing the same modes over and over).

The best wide body pin ever.

One of the best pins ever made, for sure. I just wish they would have omitted the POA and used that for a toy that didn't get old fast.

It is hard to imagine a better pinball game all the way around. Endlessly fun and balanced so well it defies physics and logic.

Beautiful pin. Not one more in any collection. Perfect combination between the theme and the game. Colordmd and Pinsound puts IJ on another level.
