Some new pics: http://www.jellikit.com/stern/indianajones.htm

It is official I really want to try this.
1 pin I always wanted was WMS Indy now looks like i might want to get them both
I can dream for a bit unless i win a great some of money.
Life before hobby i guess

Obviously the "arc" is a cool item on this new machine.  "Raiders of the lost arc - 8 BALL" ??  Could it really be?  I see 4 balls coming out of the arc in one picture.  Very cool how the arc slides back and the balls come out of the top of it.

One of the coolest features on the WMS IJ are the video modes - choose wisely, mine cart (my favorite) and find the medallion.  If the new machine does not have something similar I think it will definately lose out with respect to the old machine.  

Hard to wait to be able to try it out.  Thanks for linking to the new pics, Azatotht - really gives a good look at the game.  I see no word anywhere as to when it might be released.  Movie comes out in May - Any ideas??

My first inital reaction was this looks almost exactly like POTC, I don't like the look of the PF and the shot layout I don't know I don't like the look of it.  

the arc looks like it could be cool.

In the end I will allways reserve judgment till I've spent some time on the game.  

I hate to be negative, but it looks like a Sega and that's not a good thing. Doesn't look like it has alot of shots. I usually get an immediate reaction from a game. I knew I would like theses by seeing the playfields LOTR, SPP, Ripleys, and FG.

This one leaves me luke warm. I love the cabinet artwork. Playfield artwork is decent. Translite is decent -- not great, but not bad.

But then again, I thought T3 looked terrible in pics and actually liked it in person. I was lukewarm to WoF and really enjoyed playing that one, so who knows...

When I look at the playfield, it looks very limited. Not alot of shots. Also, the holes look massive. Monster Bash massive. Hard to miss massive.

I'm hoping there's more to the rules as well. Initially it looks like AFM or Austin Power's -- hit this x times and start a multiball. I really hope there is more to it than that.

But the ark looks cool...opens up to serve up the balls for multiball. Neat!

I'll reserve judgement until I play it. It's a great theme and I think it is awesome that it includes all 4 movies.

Looks interesting .. the Ark appears to be a cool toy and the idea of 3 trapped ? balls in the smaller playfield is different as well .. but as Adam stated tough to get a real feel before playing it.

shoot for the ark! Shoot for the ark!

actually, it reminds me of the Jurassic Park playfield layout.

    a lot!!

That "white water" left ramp looks interresting. so are those upper captive balls.

Ark also is a lot like mothership on afm. Funny that there's already wear at the magnet only from one show!

cool looking skull


Good luck Stern. hope it keeps you running for a long time.

For you guys complaining about wear, the PF is not clearcoated at all. John borg is the designer, Lonnie Ropp is the programmer.
