I absolutely LOVED my I500. It also can be an infuriating machine. Also I don't think I've gotten angrier at any machine as much in my life.
There classic voices, non-stop action, and no "breaks". You essentially can't cradle and there's not stopping the ball essentially. It's addictive as hell.
Quoted from Completist:I’m a huge FT fan but have never played I500 so I did not vote. However b/c of this thread i want to find and play one!
"Beating the game" in I500 -- that is, surviving 200 laps AND finishing 1st -- is REALLY dependent on the 3rd shot of the "Gasoline Alley" Mode. You pass 15 cars if you hit that shot, which is absolutely huge and probably 99% necessary to actually finish the 200 laps AND be in first place. I did that once.
Quoted from Squeakman:It is funny that almost every person responding to this says I500 and the poll shows something completely different. I expected this to be a landslide for Fish Tales. I've played both and will say Indy was fun, but didn't strike me as a game that I would want long term. I didn't get a ton of time on it though.
It's an awesome game to get your skills sharp. It's REALLY tough, active, NOT-RELAXING pinball.
