And to think I wanted a Medieval Madness, HA. Indiana Jones Pinball adventure smokes it! Best pinball I have ever played.

When properly maintained, and especially when tweaked more for home use (Air ball deflectors, Mode start hole is dialed in, and Mini PF is perfectly aligned), this game provides the ultimate challenge with nearly endless replay value. With 12 main modes and at least a half dozen other different modes, I can play it over and over and not get sick of it. Add in a 2-3-6 ball multi-ball option and incredible call-outs from all three of the original Indiana Jones movies, there is nothing not to like about this machine. I find that guests and family members enjoy it for the theme and comfortable feel, while pinball enthusiasts enjoy the balanced scoring and consistent challenge. Mine is bolted to my floor...a must have for any pinball lover.

For me and many others, this is the best Pin out there and has been since its release. Anyone that has played this game for more than a few times, knows how many themes from the movies series it incorporates in its features. It does so better than any other machine ever, in my opinion. Shifting to the DMD display for the Raven, Choose Wisely and especially the Mine Cart mode, is brilliant and unlike anything in any other machine I have seen! If you are fortunate enough to have the Pinsound system in it,please try the production from EndProduct; it is absolutely amazing!
B.F. Skinner's random reinforcement theory is absolutely at work in this machine. It's almost impossible to get to all of the features even in four-player mode. I love trying to beat the Mine Cart (although I never have!) but no matter how well you shoot, there is no guaranty that you will get it during your game. And that's true with most of the other features as well; not all but most. Completely awesome game!

The design has stood the test of time! Such a fun pin! 12 different modes, 3 different multiballs, plenty of easter eggs, great video modes, 2 playfields, and one of the best ball locks ever!

This is a great game, hard but fair.It flows nicely and is action packed.Path of adventure is interesting and so are the video modes.Sound affects of the "dog fight" the planes shooting at each is also good.

The game has great features but the ramps are very steep . Shooting for multiball is easy but you need to hear a elephant noise then multiball comes down and the main thing to complete the game is to fill in the features

Played this at Vegas and friends house. Easy to see why it I the top 20, as it's a very likeable game with good flow, and awesome multiball.
The toys fit in very well.
It's a shame that these are now so costly to buy, as for the same price you could get a JJP, but I suppose this is a classic!

Still “getting in to it”. I can see why it’s got such lastability.

Excellent combination of qualities!

Widebody layout with both adventure and flow. Deep code for a 90s pin with enough modes to make reaching the wizard very hard but more attainable than Valinor. Solid for tournaments because of the multiball rules. Awesome theme. Love this machine...

This is an amazing game that is hurt by its ruleset. I think it would make a good home game, but onsite, I'm just after the multiball the whole time and ignoring the rest of the game.

I really want to love this game, but every time I play it I walk away thinking "meh".

Simply put, one of the best pinball machines ever made.

I've played 3 or 4 different copies of this pin and I just do not understand the hype.

I get that Raiders and Last Crusade are among my favorite films and Indiana Jones is simply AWESOME but the pin puts me to sleep.

Very fun. I never owned it, so unsure of lastability. Well executed...probably exceeded the theme if you ask me. Long shots are great

I want to on this game so bad, but sadly so does every one else ha ha. I feel like it looks so great and is themed so well and is such an iconic movie that I could literally just have it in my house and never play it and keep it as a piece of art.... but obviously its super sweet and I want to play it. just the gun shot plunger alone gets me to want to play it. dang i want this game.

Found out about Indiana Jones, the pinball adventures, kinda late and boy wasn't I disapointed.
This is an all-timer, gorgous looking machine and a hard to beat theme. The game is loaded and it does indeed feels like the Indiana Jones movies (something that's cruely missing in the Starwars pins unfortunately!).
Indy is a top 5 all-time pin for me.

This is just a great all-around pinball machine with perhaps the best theme out there, great toys and the soundtrack ranks up there with Star Wars for nostalgia! So many I find on-site are getting pretty long in the tooth and often don't play right. This weekend got to put a lot of games on a decent example for the first time in a long time. If I had this game in our collection it would be a keeper for sure. I really think you can keep coming back and having fun on this for a long time.

EDIT: Dropped playfield artwork by 1 after thinking about it a bit more.

LOVE this pinball. And like so many others here I wish I could own one. Williams just nailed it in every category. I once played this in a friend's game room for three hours straight without so much as a sip of beer or a bathroom break. It's THAT fun. As soon as you fire that gun plunger you become instantly immersed. Sometimes it doesn't even feel like a pinball game (but in a weird good way?) Great shots, solid flow, excellent missions and mini-games. Like some others here, I'll take Indy over Adams Family any day.
