If you love simpsons you'll love this pin. It's a little complicated with 5 flippers and it is a tri-level (multi-ball is on the 3rd level couch) but there is a lot of interesting things you can do and the theme is well integrated.

Overall, if I had to buy only one pin in the last 10 years, this pin and Metallica would be on that list.

I really wanted to like this pin since Indiana Jones is one of my favorite characters. It just didn't do much. You'd hit things or get to certain goals and expect something amazing to happen and really nothing did (maybe a short vid). I just didn't enjoy myself.

I really didn't like it at all. It was hard to get things going. I felt you had to hit things in serial. Felt like Tron without the more interesting theme and components.

I haven't played a pin with 2 balls until I played this pin. Really interesting. Lots of action going on and I really like some of the targets. Problem is that it plays way too fast. I really don't know what I'm doing since there are too many balls to keep track of. Nevertheless, it's interesting and unique.

If you like Game of Thrones, I think you'll like this pin a lot. As for me, I just wasn't feeling it. I thought it was a bit hard to hit some targets and well, I never watched the show so I didn't know what I was doing.

I think I like it because of the theme more than anything else. Pin isn't as interesting as other Stern tables but this plays like an old school 90s table. Also if you're a fan of NYC, I think you gotta have this.

You know.. this game reminds me of Attack from Mars but with a higher difficulty. Ramps are really easy to hit (love that) but the starship is really tough to hit. Overall, I think it's a pin easy to get into. My downside is that I'm just not a big fan of the new star trek.

Really fun theme and that you're trying to attack the UFOs. I like it because it's easy to play and most likely you'll take down a UFO or 2.

Love the music. It's got good flow but I'm not as interested in the field. Very easy to play. I think many people will just enjoy it as I did.

Love this game. It's like Monster Bash with the monsters. Easy to pick up and play. My only thing is sometimes it get really boring since you're doing the same thing over and over again (move your car). Still, I'd love to have this pin in my collection.

Great theme, great gimmicks and it's really easy to play. I'd highly recommend to beginner to advance to play this pin. My own downside is that it's hard to understand what you're supposed to do.

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.

I know what people like this game so much. It's the first for many features that were to come. My problem is that although this was the first, it's just not perfected like the later games in the generation. Play it to understand the history but go get a later pin.

I think the game is pretty fun. Great theme of being in the wild west. IMHO very difficult (maybe it was the table at Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas). Still, I enjoyed it.

Really like the theme and the ship. It's pretty fun to play. The only bad thing in my mind is that the flow isn't as good as my highest rated pins. Nevertheless, I wouldn't mind having this in my collection.

It's a very interesting pin. The theme is travelling around the world. Didn't quite click with me but I can see how it could be interesting.

Come play it for the theme and some of the unique features of the table. Being a beginner, I would say that there is a lot going on and that there may be easier pins to pick up.

I would say I'm a casual plus player. I enjoy playing pinball because I have fond memories of playing pinball at my local pizza joint when I was growing up. When I see a pin, I usually throw a couple of bucks in but I'm not an addict (at least that's what i tell myself).

Tron is one of those games that I really wanted to like. It's a story that is similar to my life (I'm a software developer). I love the theme but the table and me don't sync (tried fast and slow). Still, I don't mind playing.

Tales of The Arabian Nights is one of the most beautiful pins out there. Lots of interesting goals and the storytelling is the best. Love the theme and game play. My downside is that you don't see much of this pin in the public and I've only seen them in private.

Theatre of Magic is one of those games that feels like riding your favorite bike around the neighborhood. Easy to get on, easy to ride and easy for you to enjoy. Love the theme and game play. My downside is that when you play this pin in public, it's usually in horrible shape which leads to a poor experience. I honestly haven't encountered a good pin in public and get my fix on Pinball Arcade.

I played Metallica at the Pacific Pinball Museum. I was a little skeptical at first but I read the instructions and started playing. It's a fast pin with 5 "goals". Really easy to understand and has a great flow. I can easily play this for hours.
