I think TAF is way overrated. Fun to hit at the buddies house but never would own one unless got a insane deal.

This is probably the most perfect execution of a theme in Pinball history. The entire package perfectly reflects the zany, spooky Addams Family, with great custom voice work and music. The layout is one of Lawlor's best, good shots that can occasionally be unforgiving. There are plenty of modes, plenty of multiballs, and lots to do for the more seasoned player. Definitely one of my favourite games, and even though I bump into it quite often as so many were made, I will always give it a few plays!

All time classic. I think this is the first truly great pinball game, the first one that really gets exciting. I like older machine, but they never really got your heart going. We had this machine at an old office where I worked years ago, so I have an affinity for it that may color my rating. I still love it, though.

This pin may be more fun than any other pin that I have ever played. One key thing with this pin, is that it HAS to be well maintained. A tournament level AF is as close to perfect as you can come to heaven on Earth. You should be able to hit the Bear Kicks ramp from the right flipper. This will enable you to max out the Bear Kicks at 99, and max out your score. Lighting the entire Mansion is probably the highlight of this pin, and the most difficult achievement. Awesome pin. It could (and maybe should) be #1.

If you've seen the film you know they couldn't have done better with a game. If you haven't seen it, you'll still love this machine for it's lastability. So many fun shots, so many callouts.

I've played examples of this game that play good and bad. The bad ones make the game absolutely frustrating to play. The ones that play well make me want to buy one it plays so well. Running perfect with strong flippers and a waxed playfield this games is easy to shoot, and each easy shot is satisfying to hit. Because of that I give this game a high recommendation. But with weak flippers this game is nothing short of a frustrating chore to play.

The machine I played had LED upgrades that lit the play field perfectly. Great game. Love the flipper "finger snap" to the music.

You know when you;re hanging out with your brother's group of older friends and they mention a really hot mom they have a crush on and you think to yourself "really? she's not that hot?" that's Addams Family for me. There has been many positive reviews which are valid, but I feel this pin shows its age. There are a lot of modes but are quite basic just like the toys on the playfield. However, I can see how this pin can be rated high as there is a lot going on but it feels old.

Really good sounds, play field layout, modes to complete. The subways/tunnels are cool. Thing toy is neat. There's not as much depth as I expected here and the animations aren't great. I wouldn't want to own this one. Doesn't make me come back to it. It was ahead of its time for sure

Such a great machine and my one regret was not buying it when I had the chance to at a reasonable price. Now I will just have to stumble upon one hopefully. Great machine, loads of fun to play, lots of interaction, good theme, good gimmicks. Just an over great machine that is a classic.
