Quoted from gambit3113:

It has little redeeming quality, in all honesty. It was a give up design, from a time when Stern was on the ropes.

Bingo. It's like they came up with the ark and just quit after that. By far...the most repetitive modern era game and quite possibly the most unbalanced scoring too. Your bonus gets out of control with bonus multipliers and can be way more than your overall score. Everything is the same; rats, snakes, ants. The amount of repetitive shots to complete the 4 modes is mind boggling and it is made even worse since no modes stack, so you have to do them all individually. The only reason it still commands a high dollar is because of the theme and low number of units produced.

All that said, I have one on route by me and I do play it from time to time because even though the game is terrible, I love Indiana Jones and I love pinball. It won me free pizza last month for my high score since it was the game of the month!
