Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure
Williams · 1993 · at 1 UK venue.
Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure is Williams’ take on the famous archaeologist, built around three of the original films. The machine sends Indy through a series of archaeological adventures involving temples, relics, villains and traps.
The game is built around completing the different film-based modes, with the Idol, Path of Adventure and other physical features reinforcing the feeling of being inside an Indiana Jones adventure.
The objectives can become demanding, but the structure remains clear: find the artefacts, survive the traps and defeat the villains. Choose an adventure and finish it. Indy never leaves an archaeological site halfway through.

Saucer on the left starts modes. Mode points are awarded as bonus so don't tilt!
Multiball2 tips
- Multiball
In MB, lock 1 or 2 balls to double or triple jackpot value. Shoot right ramp to collect. After 3 jackpots, shoot captive ball for super.
- Multiball
Sink three balls behind the drop targets in the center. When MB starts, balls feed very quickly to the right flipper from the shrine.
General4 tips
- General
Ramp shots select next mode. Well of Souls is a MB. Choose Wisely, Escape the Mine and Raven Bar/Medallion are video modes.
- General
Use ball locks and Eternal Life to put ball in bonus X lanes as much as possible. 8X lights EB. Multipliers carry over from ball to ball.
- General
If you hit the middle drop targets from the right flipper and immediately drain in the left outlane, most games will give you a ball save.
- General
The lit orbits can be worth a ton, especially if hit back to back and the timer resets each shot.
Secrets & easter eggs2 tips
- Secrets & easter eggs
Streets of Cairo Mode - Find Marion = shot corresponding to where monkey is on DMD. Hit saucer = 20M or before times up gun trigger = 2M.
- Secrets & easter eggs
If ball goes into R Outlane, slap the R side of machine or nudge hard to save ball from drain
Wizard mode1 tip
- Wizard mode
Finish all 12 modes for wizard mode: Eternal Life MB. Every switch lit for 10M. Hit ALL switches including the PoA = 1B and relights.
Not tournament-legal1 tip
- Not tournament-legal
Sneak ball behind the right drop target when all three are up. Illegal move? Not really but game says "You cheat Dr. Jones". Gratifying!
