same as for Indiana Jones, took me a while to find out and appreciate The Addams Family as everyone should.
obviously the biggest seller ever and for rightful reasons.
The geometry of the shots on the playfield in impeccable and touring the mansion is such great fun.
Not 100% sure of the lastability factor once you've finished the game over and over again, but regardless this is a piece of art and a piece of pinball history that belongs in any collection.

Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure Williams, 1993
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.

Star Wars (Pro) Stern, 2017
I owned this pin (Stern tarwars Pro) for a while.
plays very fast, but a couple of things are really annoying to me:
1- the playfield is bare and there really isn't a proper toy to bash/have fun with...
2- the ruleset, with all these multipliers that you need to rearrange all the time, is complex and boring and imo takes the fun flow away.
So yes, it is Starwars and yes, it is a good pin, but the main problem to me is that this playfield could be reskined into just about any theme. It just happened that this one is Starwars.
Could have been so much better... it is a good pin, just not a great one.

Cactus Canyon Bally, 1998
Owned a CC for a while: super fun game to play occasionally, friends and family love it each time they put their hands on it.
unfortunately, code is incomplete and pretty shortly, you finish the game and its wizard mode.
...and the more often you play CC, the more often you will get to achieve "High Noon" and on and on.
it is an "easy" game to finish, but very fun to play and the toys are really cool (Gold Mine, train, Bart etc.).
I would say am not the biggest fan of the artwork/color scheme and so not sure it can stay super long in a small collection.
Anyway: a classic game, rare, and very, very fun to shoot.

Twilight Zone Bally, 1993
Astonishingly, it took me a little bit of time to really get into Twilight Zone, and properly « get » this game and appreciate it for what it really is: a proper landmark in Pinball History, the most complex pinball machine ever made (especially considering it came out in 1993!)
Once i figured, oh my gosh, i became obsessed with it: everything in TZ is « more » and is « bigger ».
It clearly is a pinball machine that’s completely crazy, over the top in every sense of the way: it is more than just a pinball machine actually, it is a true journey, an adventure into imagination and into the vaunted Lost in Zone wizard mode eventually.
In short, imo, Twilight Zone is more than likely the greatest pinball machine ever made.

Fish Tales Williams, 1992
Always loved Fish Tales, always will.
Not the greatest pin of all time, but certainly one of the most fun to play!

Theatre of Magic Bally, 1995
Maybe not a super deep game, but one of the most beautiful and with a great theme. Theatre of Magic is one of the best classics.

The Shadow Bally, 1994
Had heard about The Shadow for some time but had never played it...until yesterday: to put it simply, I was blown away by how beautiful and great this game is. I am obsessed by it ever since! It immediately enters my top 10 all time with the likes of Twilight Zone, Funhouse, Indiana Jones, the Addams Family and Attack from Mars. Y
Yes, the Shadow is THIS great!

Guardians of the Galaxy (Pro) Stern, 2017
Liked Guardians a lot, want to play it more and start scoring a little bit and going further in the modes. Seems a deeper game than first thought.

Star Trek (Pro) Stern, 2013
Such a good surprise. Didn’t expect this Star Trek pin to be this good. Arguably one of my favorite Stern pinball machines currently.

Medieval Madness Williams, 1997
Right up there with Attack from Mars but would still give a slight edge to AFM... Obviously same game designer and two absolute classics: pick your poison theme (knights or aliens) and go for one or the other and you won’t be disapointed. MM is amazing and doesn’t get old.

Monster Bash Williams, 1998
Took me a while to appreciate MB for what it is and still think nonetheless that it is just a little bit overrated.
Fun game to play for sure, but it is no AFM nor Funhouse, nor Twilight Zone great imo.
And as far as owning MB in a small collection, I would much rather have any of the three other pins listed above, and some, before considering owning MB.

FunHouse Williams, 1990
Funhouse is mesmerizing and amazing. There is something almost hypnotic about this pinball machine. Possibly the ultimate Classic of all time it is absolutely Top 5 ever for me, it is pretty much the complete package.

Lethal Weapon 3 Data East, 1992
Underrated pin. The fun factor is there and friends love to play on it over and over again. It is not TZ or AFM good of course, but it is a good solid first pin for sure in a home collection.

Attack from Mars Bally, 1995
I can say no more: it has got it all, to me AFM is very possibly the best pinball machine of all time. Absolutely in my Top 5 for sure anyway.
