How much is a decent Williams Pharaoh? I haven’t seen much around, so what’s a reasonable price for one?

1500 for good working game, half for problems, double for perfect.
Great game, highly desirable due to artwork and one of the four two levels.
Just paid 1700 for a good solid machine. Needs a shop job badly but no pf wear and only slight flaking around the bg edges that you can’t see. Plastics all good.
A little more than I wanted to spend but they just had all the boards redone and they are perfect.

Seems like a pretty cool game to me. Reminds me of black knight, and I really like the theme.

Agreed!
You guys are crazy. BK is way better than Pharaoh. Jungle Lord is better than Pharaoh. Now I just need a Solar Fire to decide if it is better than Pharaoh.
BK is the hardest player (prob why you non-players hate it )
JL has the best rules - lots of stuff going on on that playfield. Horrible art
Pharaoh - Best Art and some interesting shots
Solar Fire - haven't played it in so long I cant remember...

I have had all 4 in a row at home. Solar Fire is the least of the four. Grab Grand Lizard if you want a better game with that layout.
Pharaoh is probably. a better game than BK unless like me you were there when BK arrived new. Even though the layout is not spectacular, what that game brought to pinball was. Art, sound, and games personality really shine not to mention all the great features it had.
Oh, and yeah, Jungle Lord is the best of the four by far. Ignore the art and that game is one of the best ever. It will also make you a better player.
I have never played a pharaoh, but truly love the art on that game and would also like to get one someday. The early 80’s williams games are great!
I’ve got a jungle lord and absolutely love the game play. Trouble targets, magna save, and bagatelle Are all fun. The art on the other is terrible. My wife has been wanting me to get rid of it since I got it hauled down to the basement.

BK is an important historical game for sure; which is why broken down old men like you love it
I used to own all four of the the double levels.
Here is how I would rate them.
1. SF
2. BK
3. Phar
4. JL
I hated JL so much it was the 1st of the double levels to leave the collection. BK was the first I owned and I loved it as a kid. I do wish that SF had speech. SF is the most rare of the bunch.
Quoted from Tommy-dog:I do wish that SF had speech.
I actually like the Solar audio the most, but I can see how it would annoy people.
Solar Fire is good fun, great 1980's CHEESE! I owned a Pharaoh and IMO SF kicks its ass with its campy, good natured fun. All these games work best in a larger collection BTW...as a diversion.
I agree with Tommy Dog:
1. SF
2. BK
3. Pharaoh
4. Jungle Lord
