Really just such a beautiful and fun game but it is very shallow by modern standards. I’ve past on a few of these because I know I’ll tire of it pretty quickly and they are a bit problematic to keep running properly.

I have played this game for several hours, and will continue to see why people love this game, but it just seems dark and I have no idea what to hit, or how it scores. That tilting mini play field is cool but no instructions on it is a drag.

This was a really fun game, IMO. Great shots, perfect theming, iconic music. The playfield has everything one could want from movie highlights! The ball saving totem is clever & appears rugged. Will definitely play over & over again!

Overall the game is fun. The ball flow is a little challenging on this one. The mission are challenging as well. But the colors on this machine are vibrant and the gadgets are well placed.

By far one of the greatest games ever made. The theme is perfectly integrated with all 3 movies. I wish they made games like this nowadays. I luckily found one local and will finally have this game in my collection.

I'm not a fan... it's an old game to me and does not play as well as any of the newer ones made in the past 3 years.

One of the games I always gravitate to at any arcade...not sure if that is because of the nostalgia from the movies, or not...but I always enjoy playing this game and it has proven without a doubt that it is a classic with staying power

Great theme integration for this game, although I find the playfield a bit tight, and therefore, things are a bit less interesting.
Love the combination of licensed assets and the great music to go along with the movies.
Callouts are great.

I want to love this game.
Great theme and it is well integrated.
That for many people is enough. I would even consider owning this game for that reason alone because I do like the movies.
love the ball lock, upper playfield is neat.
Flow is good enough. Modes, multiball, it’s all there.
My gripe with this game is that somehow it just feels lacking. I never feel like sticking around to play more than 1 game on it. It could be that in an arcade setting it feels kind of tired in comparison to more modern games.
This is just my opinion and there are plenty of people who love this game and I’m happy for them. It just doesn’t click with me and that’s okay.
One day if I get it alone in a quiet setting my opinion could very well change. So one day I would like to own it to give it a fair chance to change my mind.

O man. Indiana Jones is such a hard game for me to rate. It is a good game, but as of this writing in late 2021 you can get every other single game on the market NIB for less money. Is it a good game? Yes! Is it a great game? Yes! Is it the best pinball machine you can buy for the money? No!
The game itself is super fun. It is a Super Pin with lots to do. The Path of Adventure and rotating idol are neat toys. There are multiple ways to play the game where you can just go for multiball or play through the story of the game by accomplishing all of the modes. The modes are varied and fun. There are rewards for hitting multiple shots repeatedly like the ramps and loops. The narrow escape right lane save is unique and very fun.
Overall, this is an extremely fun game. I myself bought one to try it out (couldn't play one local) and while fun, it is not a long term keeper for me at the price. I would solidly recommend this game to anyone who finds it fun.
Update: After 3 months I am lowering my rating on this game. The big flaw in this game is the mode start scoop. It is a tight shot and subject to bounce outs making the game more difficult than it should be. There is also a design flow where the ball can bounce up in the scoop hitting a diode on the underside of the path of adventure, causing a short and all sorts of playfield problems. Easy to fix... after you figure it out.
The game also suffers from requiring a very precise level. If the game is off just a little the ball won't flow properly out of the pops.
Still a fun game, but the honeymoon period on this one was short and there are other games I'd much rather have for the money so time is short.

Love this game!!!! The lock is a terrifically elegant shot. Perfect sneak behind the targets elicits one of the best callouts I’ve ever heard.
Machine plays like a dream and multi balls are off the hook. Sounds and visuals are amazing.

One of my highest ratings….I was hooked on the movies as a teenager and the pinball machine was an absolute must when I started my collection.. this game is both beautiful and challenging . It took me 3 years to find one in the condition I sought, plenty of mods available to dress it up although it is good as is… the mode hole was the only thing holding this game back as 8 out of 10 shots would be rejected which has driven many a player to curse this game… I tried everything to adjust the striker plate, dropped the mechanism down with shims but nothing worked….I studied the geometry for weeks and came to a conclusion… the striker is simply to close to the hole itself…. I carefully redrilled the 3 holes moving them back 1/4 “ , remounted the striker , and wa-la !!! 98 out of 100 balls fall perfectly in the mode hole and it allows you to complete all modes much easier. Other than that this game is exceptional to me
And I would advise anyone to add it to their collection…

Wow, what can I say that hasn't already been said. Everything about this pin is awesome. Theme, art, gameplay, music score just to name a few. I love the game. It has 12 modes so if you like modes and trying to complete the shots to complete a mode then you are going to like the gameplay. Bally/Williams quality!! My only knock and its a small one is overall lighting is ok. Pinstadiums will help this. Also, I'm not a huge fan of upper playfields but for what it is this one isn't to bad. I understand a lot of the newer Sterns are cliimbing to the top of this list and thats ok. I like Sterns too! However, these old B/Ws early 90s games are amazing and may never be matched.
