I get called out on this all the time, but I just cannot get into and do not rate TAF.
Heralded as the greatest game of all time by many (although not number 1 in this top 100, so maybe of it's time).
I am no animal, the intro to the multiball is incredible and the mansion tour is very clever for the time, but again, I cannot get on with this pin. One less person that wants it in their collection against the 1,000's that do.

Ho come on, this pin should be n°1! Although, I understand why some people hate it. Playfield is unusual and it can be VERY frustrating. But remember, when this pin first came out, it was in competition with T2 and LW3 (at least in Europe).
TAF was just a milion leagues above anything else at the time (and I'm a big fan of T2 and 90's pin), and in my opinion not any other recent pin is as good for the theme. It also deserves better lights, so if you own one, please go for leds.
This is the best seller ever for a good reason, but not an "everybody loves it" like MB or MM. I love it since the 1st day.

Owned one for just over a year. I didn't really enjoy it back in the 90's on location but I hoped I would enjoy it more in the home environment on free play....I just didn't gel with it at all. I think it's a very overrated pin. I found myself going into the games room every night and forcing myself to play it due to the money spent on it rather than actually wanting to play it. All the ingredients are there. Lots of cool toys, good artwork, callouts, theme etc. Layout is good. I just don't like playing it. Too much stop start gameplay and repetition. Never regretted selling mine for a split second.

Sorry this has to be the single most overrated game in history. The toys are horrible like the book case is blue or the library is red or whatever why not theme those? This game was made to be mass produced and cheap as possible. Lucky for us people are making mods today to drastically improve the game.
NOw after you’ve spent around 1000 on mods and upgrades the play field is much better. Certain things shouldn’t be involved in the game like a train the Adams Family are mostly about the interior of the their house. This game can be 100% better game only after you’ve spent a lot of money to make it feel and look more like the Adams Family. This is a game I’d like to see re-done but a modern version with movie clips of the TV show not the movie.

You can't go wrong with this machine. I've played it WAY more than any other. I remember playing it over and over as a kid in the arcade and still find myself coming back to want to play whenever I have the chance even now time and time again!

I already had this game in the past that I had traded for a TOMMY with money, attracted by the reputation of this pinball machine.
Huge mistake that I still regret.
Today a friend has lent me his game for some time and I find that I find this game always as bad, impossible to keep a good flow as each action gives right to a DOT animation or a sound that stops the game, half of the missions are useless, we can start a mission
while you have not completed the current one, etc ... When I see the price that sells this thing is to wonder if the players ... play.

What a classic game. Nothing is worse, than a TAF out in the wild....and doesnt play correctly. On location, Taf always gets the bulk of my quarters. Great sound, straight forward rules, and the subtle humor. Highly reccomend....multiball never gwts old.

Very fun game that was ahead of it's time. Some very unique and nice shots. Great shot through the bumpers. Excellent theme tie in. Rules are a little shallow when compared to more recent games. Not a huge fan of the playfield magnets, disrupts the flow a bit.
