    Having owned this machine... it is so awesome to play it again. The ramps are tough to get up. The ball stumpers around the bottom a lot. It has some flow. But... honestly... the Theater of Magic - Zen version just sings and loops and sizzles. My real Indiana Jones whip crack and jackpots were REALLY REALLY loud and the flashers were blinding. The virtual versions can't quite get to that level... gosh I wish they could. I can't touch - meaning buy - an Indiana Jones machine for less that $12,000 ! I bought mine for $4k. Sold it for $11. I miss it sorely. This scratches that itch... almost.

    I bought it but FX should offer 9.99 classic version without extras animation and 14.99 with extras. Overall it's a great pin and happy they at least put this pin out even though it's 3x the cost. Hopefully this will encourage other pins like Addams family and Star Trek Williams.

    CoolToy,
    You know what's interesting, and I thought about it, I'd be willing to pay a higher price if a company would start making and releasing licensed digital versions of Stern's newest tables. For me, I'd EASILY pay $15 per table if Stern digital tables started appearing on the AtGames Legends Pinball, or if somehow Arcade1up could swing a new machine with a downloadable table service. Indy is cool, and I can see picking it up, but give me some Rush, Godzilla, and Mandolarian action :)

    This was the first pinball machine in real life I actually enjoyed. It was down my local Pool hall and everytime I went down there with drinks to play snooker I would play this game and ended up playing it a lot and really enjoyed it a lot and became pretty good at it. I got to a point where I would play a game and I would get a small crowd around watching me (probably 5-10 people) because I would always get the top score on this machine.
    The best part about this game was all the different video modes and things to do in the game and once understood them all it was easy to rack up the points. But it was such a satisfying game and so many of my friends used to live it also. I got to admit though I had a bit of a temper and used to tilt the game a lot of it didn't go my way as I was only a teenager 😂.
    I really want to buy this for xbox, but it seems very expensive for one table and not sure I will enjoy it as much as I did back in the day.

    Hi CoolToy, thx for the video. I bought the table right when it was available, have around 5 hours in it now and I'm very happy with it. It's fun! I have two questions for you: Did you record all the footage in "Single Player Mode" which does have the "Zen Physics" or did you mix it up with "Classic Single Player" which is the "Williams Phisics"? And second, a question regarding the frame rate. Your video is in 60fps, but I noticed the ball "jumping" or warping quite much in some scenes of gameplay. Did your game run on 60fps during recording as well?

    Hey COOLTOY, thanks for the live stream last night showing this table and for posting this review/demo.
    I really enjoy the FX3 pinball experience. I enjoyed on PC but find it to be so much fun on the ALU. Personally, I prefer the interactive experience to be a little less busy without SOME of the animation, but all in all, this really looks like a very well tested and developed pinball table. Plus, it looks like a lot of fun!
    I personally am not really a fan of the 14.99 price tag for 1 game, but when you take into consideration all the licensing expenses, I'm sure that's why the tag is higher than usual. So the real decision is do we buy this or buy 3 gallons of gas!?

    Heads up - this table doesn't play well on the Legends Pinball table. Anyone who is playing Zen games on the ALP will have a problem with this; the 60 FPU, 1080p main monitor can't keep up with the ball's movement speed. Most of the Zen tables are fine. However, a couple of them are too much for the ALP's screen to handle. This one can't be played on the ALP; not even in classic mode.

Nor do I think people should take advice on what to buy from random strangers on the internet. They are selling it on their old platform and then again shortly on their new platform, which is a win for everyone. Meaning no one will have to jump over to the new Pinball FX platform if they don't want to in order to enjoy this table.

    Hi. I bought it for Xbox one!! The switch my on the go toy!! Waiting on a sale(which probably will be Sept?)!! Everybody is bitchin about $15? !! Zen didn't have a Kickstarter!! Hence $15+ table!! End of story!! If farsight was human we would have this table & 200 others by now!! With Kickstarter my Addams family pinball arcade was $3(with 10 table season pass!! End of story!! Watch out for future stern now pints $25!!

    To be honest I don't mind paying the money for this tables they are expensive as it is even for a old model game but;But I think it's time to step up a notch.let's be frank here those new on Stern tables that are ran up in the 4 digit s like 6 7 8 even 9grand should least one or two make it to the digital version because how many of us actually go n buy those like regular console games lol Zen seem s to do a good job on them least the base models or not to go to far start even Jersey Jack tables hell Gotlliebs Street Fighter or Super Mario tables that huge icons but not even Pinball arcade touch on those two particular ones Zen needs to step away from the ones we seen on thay side and bring in more new.ill pay $50 $100 for the newer ones that from 5 grand is a huge difference 🤙

    If you buy it on Williams then I suspect your gonna have to buy it again when FX comes out. I’m not touching the Williams ios app, what they did with all the confusing micro transactions is just garbage.

    IMO 15$ is too much for one table.
    Yes it looks insane but still too much.
