    Why do people like Indy Jones (WMS version)

    The mode start bounce out? Path of Adventure being useless? Too many video modes? Ramps being useless 95% of the time? No skill shot? The stupid prices it sells for? That all being said, the theme, art, and music are nice, and the idol ball lock is cool.

    Somehow made the finals in my first pinball tournament...preparation?

    Small correction: On the left side, the picks are outside of the grave marker inline drop target lane. Also, if other people you playing are getting to a Crank it Up mode, you need to plan on doing the same. If they're doubling their CIU Collect jackpot, you need to plan on doing the same...
