The powerball is very unique. Upper playfield works well.

The right car shot is frustrating in that a dead-on shot will always drain. The problem is so common that programmers compensated for this by activating an autosave timer when the shot is successfully hit. The game has really nice upper playfield flow. An awesome pinball game themed after an awesomely bad movie.

A great game from Williams. A great example how to make a fun to play game that is not associated with a established brand or franchise. The music does not really hold up after 25 years. The playfield art is a little cartoonish, but what do you expect in a game about fishing?

Includes the dreaded Crystal Skull movie. Any Indiana Jones pinball machine will have a tough time living up to the incredible 1993 Williams machine. The game consists on 4 main shots which have to be made over and over again. Starting Ark mode dumps balls everywhere for the sake of having balls everywhere.

Played at the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. A refreshing and fun design. I'm not much of a fan of LED displays, but it seemed to work well with this game. The playfield was very bright and attractive. I kept on returning to this game to play more. I wish I had more time to explore it fully.
Edit: Visited at a local venue. The game doesn't seem to have longevity because I found myself getting bored.

A fun early modern game. It's nice to play pinball with original themes. Red and Ted's call outs get a little repetitive.

I never played the pre-code-update version. The code now seems pretty solid to me.

This game provides a lasting challenge with a large amount of different modes and multiballs. The play field toys are excellent and add a lot. It's definitely a game that was designed around the branding rather than having the branding forced into a game already on the drawing board. Stern hired some of the actors from the series to produce custom call outs.

An attempt to force a board game into the world of pinball which failed. The railroad ramp obstructs the playfield. The dice roll feature seems uninspired. The "Uncle Pennybags" call outs were rather annoying and unendearing. I tried to like this game, but just couldn't appreciate it. The plastic ramps seemed to detract from the play rather than adding to it. A poor choice of theming.

A fun game with a couple of cool gimmicks. I was never a fan of the movies, but the theming seems to work well. It's oddly satisfying to sink the ship.

A fun pin and a value buy for someone looking to start in the hobby. Lethal Weapon doesn't really have the staying power of other brands, but it works. The trigger pulling during mini-games and following orbits provides an extra challenge. The scores progress well. I find that this pin has quick ball times, which can be both good or bad.

I've played this game for years and I keep coming back for more. The game rules are deep enough to be fun, but not overly complex. It takes the movie's one-liners and effectively translates them into fun call backs. It feels as though this game was built around the Addams Family, instead of just being a skin thrown onto a game already in development. I wish more games were like this.

This game was really bad. The call outs were horrible. The gameplay made little sense. The play field art looks like it was drawn by a child. The game design did little to capture the essence of the Harley brand. It belongs in the laundrymat where I found it.

At first I was skeptical. After a few games I began to appreciate the theme. The call outs and sound was quite entertaining. The playfield monster extras really added a lot to the game.
