Adrian's Guide to Indiana Jones the Pinball Adventure

Version 2.3

This rulesheet has been compiled and is maintained by me (Adrian) with a substantial amount of input from a lot of r.g.p readers and is kept on the pinball archive at rahul.net. If you find anything that is incorrect or missing, mail me and I'll make an effort to include it.

Disclaimer: The usual; Indiana Jones the Pinball Adventure is surely a a trademark of Williams Electronic Games Inc., and is licenced from Lucasfilm. Multi-Ball is also a Williams trademark.

Preliminary Notes:

The machine I play, and consequently what this sheet is largely based on, is running L-6 ROM's which is the latest revision I've heard of. There are a lot of differences between the various revisions which suggests that the initial P-x ROMs were riddled with bugs. Wherever possible I have tried to list the differences in the software, but I doubt I know them all so don't be surprised if your mileage varies from what is written below.

As well as the software differences, it should also be noted that nearly everything is operator settable making it almost impossible to compile definitive rules although I understand that some of these settings have disappeared in later ROMs.

Although game play is fairly straight forward, there is a lot to be uncovered in a prolonged game. I doubt you would be able to say you had got everything until you had at least 3B points racked up.

Playfield Layout

Note that this is a widebody machine of the same proportions as The Twilight Zone. I will only state briefly what is there for now, more detail will be contained in the description of play. Starting from the left flipper and going anti-clockwise things on the playfield are as follows:

Left Inlane/Outlane
The inlane lights Hand of Fate when lit and Special can be scored from the outlane when lit. As is common with most current machines the outlane can be adjusted but nowhere near as far as on TZ.
A-D-V Targets
A group of three stand up targets - the first of three such groups which spell out the word ADVENTURE.
Left Orbit
Depending on the mode the player is in, a shot around here will either continue around and feed back to the right flipper, or be stopped by a gate at the top of the playfield.
Mode Saucer
Just to the right of the orbit is a short (2") tunnel with a saucer at the end. This is where Modes, the Hand of Fate and Extra Ball are collected when lit.
ADVENTURE Playfield
The Indiana Jones equivalent of TZ's Battle the Power, this is a raised section of playfield which can be tilted left or right by the flippers to guide the ball over some of the 8 rollovers and collect The Pit or Extra Ball. It takes at least two shots to the upper playfield to score all the rollovers.
Beta cabinets have metal walls on this section - production ones have red plastic walls.
Left Ramp
Fairly steep ramp feeding to the left inlane via a habitrail. Used extensively by the Modes and to light the Jackpot shot in Multi-Ball.
E-N-T Targets
Three drop targets spelling the ENT bit of ADVENTURE. Between them, they cover a Raise Jackpot target and the entrance to the Lock/Hurry Up.
Raise Jackpot
A small target located behind the E-N drop targets used during Multi-Ball, Dogfight and others.
Lock & Hurry Up
A sinkhole located behind the E-N-T targets which can be shot with just the 'T' down.
Pop Bumpers
The traditional triangular arrangement of 3 situated behind the sinkhole and under the left ramp. The ball can be fired up back through the I-N-D-Y rollovers or leave down from the left orbit or down from the Captive Ball.
I-N-D-Y Rollovers
Behind the Pop Bumpers. Spell INDY to advance Bonus X and light a Friend. Lit rollovers can be moved left/right by the flippers.
Captive Ball
A lane just to the right of the 'T' leads to a single drop target which protects the captive ball. Hit the ball for Quick Multi-Ball and Super Jackpot.
Note: The Captive Ball has two switches, one at the front and one at the back. The one at the back generally awards higher points but not much else.
Right Ramp
Another steep one. Used a lot by the Modes and can be lit for Jackpot and Path to Adventure. Normally feeds to the right flipper but will go to the left from Jackpot and Adventure.
Right Orbit
Used mainly during certain Modes. Works in the same way as the left orbit.
U-R-E Targets
The third group of targets making up ADVENTURE. These face opposite the A-D-V targets and are also the stand up type.
The Idol
Sort of like a horizontal version of FT's fishing reel, this is where up to three locked balls are kept. Balls released from this go across the right outlane to the right flipper. There is a sound effect of an elephants' trumpet before each ball is released - very useful during Multi-Ball.
Right Inlane/Outlane
Same as the left, the inlane lights Hand of Fate and the outlane is good for a Special when lit. The divider for these two lanes has a one-way gate at the crook which allows balls fed from the Idol to get to the flipper, and at the crook of the outlane there is a post which will give skilled players to opportunity to bounce the ball back into the inlane. It can be opened up a loooonnnggggg way though (further than TZ's left outlane!!).
Flippers/Slingshots
Just the two of each in the usual places - flippers are full length and apparently will stay that way as the machine is not shipped with the small ones. Also, the gap between them is quite small.
Playfield Awards

Skill Shot
There ain't one ..... :)
I-N-D-Y Rollovers
As with most things in IJ, the INDY rollovers serve more than one purpose: increasing the bonus mutliplier, lighting Indy's Friends and (of course) scoring points. Completing them increases BonusX (2x, 4x, 6x & 8x) and lights one of Indy's Friends (see Orbits: below), and relights the inlanes for Hand of Fate. Once you have reached 8x, subsequent INDY's are worth a 10M 'Maximum Bonus' award (not P-3 ROMs) but there is a twist :) At 8x, Extra Ball is also lit at the Mode Saucer. Collecting it (or a 'Max Bonus') will cause BonusX to be reset to 1x on the next ball. This is probably the easiest way to get lotsa EB's.
Super Pops
Enough hits on the pop bumpers will start Super Pops where all hits are worth 1M each. 75 hits is the magic number, but it is (of course) operator settable. Once lit, Super Pops is active until end of ball which could lead to monster scoring. Each successive Super Pops starts after 50 more hits than the previous one (ie 125, 175, 225 etc).
Narrow Escape
Scores 1M after a right outlane drain which is saved through the gate to the inlane. Second Narrow Escape is worth 2M, third 3M and so on. This value is held throughout the game and apparently has no limit (Kevin has had it up to 52M!).
Note: The game recognises a Narrow Escape when the first rollover in the outlane is hit, but not the second. Therefor, it is quite common to score it even when you actually drain - especially when that post is open to the max. Also, it is possible to trip the outlane switch while the ball is deciding which lane it is going to go down - this will also score a Narrow Escape

Orbits
Left and right orbit shots are worth 1M + (2M x Lit Friends) when lit. This provides a minimum of 3M per loop since you get one free Friend lit and a max of 11M per loop. Consecutive lit loops are worth 2X, 3X, 4X the base with no known limit (7x is the highest I've heard of). If you are good at loops, you can get some pretty huge scores from lit loops .. :)
Loop Jackpot
This could also be called a 'Friends Jackpot' and is scored in the following manner: Light all friends from the INDY rollovers (lit Friends are denoted by a flashing light between the slingshots), shoot lit loops to light each Friend solidly (as opposed to flashing) then shoot the right ramp to collect the jackpot. Scoring is the total of all lit loops collected before the Jackpot is collected, to a maximum of 200M. The base at the start of the game is 5M. If you fail to collect the Loop Jackpot before the end of the ball when you light it, both the Friends and the Loop Jackpot value are reset (value becomes 0M).
Note: If the right ramp is lit for Multiball jackpot and Friends jackpot, one hit will collect both but only the animation for Friends is displayed..

Ramps
Making a lit ramp is worth 1M and lights the alternate ramp via the inlane. Hitting alternating ramps in succession will score 1M, 2M, 3M, 4M and so on....
Dogfight
Shooting left and right ramps when lit will also spot a green, winged light (seen amongst the Mode lights on the playfield). Completing all six will start a Dogfight. Hurry Up is lit and counts down from 40M, shoot the sinkhole behind the E-N-T targets or the Raise Jackpot target to collect.
Note: The countdown will not start if the T target is still standing so it is possible to score the whole 40M in the same way that you might get a 'You cheat Dr Jones', or hitting the Raise Jackpot.

Quick Multi-Ball
Three successful shots to the the drop target protecting the Captive Ball will cause it to stay down and the captive ball be lit for 2 ball Multi-Ball for 20 secs. During this Multi-Ball shoot the Captive Ball to collect items. Drop target hits are worth 1M, 2M, 3M for the three hits. There are five items which can be collected from the Captive Ball during Quick Two Ball Multiball as follows:
The Idol of The Incas (10M)
The Diamond of Shanghai (15M)
The Remains of Nurhachi (20M)
The Cross of Coronado (25M)
The Fish of Tayles (30M)
Each subsequent hit is worth a 40M 'All Treasures Collected' score with the first of these lighting the outlanes for Special. If you do not get all the treasures on the first 2-Ball, they remain spotted next time you get the Quick Two Ball.

Note: A good solid hit on the Captive Ball which causes the back switch to close adds an extra 10M to the above values. This is also sometimes called the Totem Multiball.

During Quick Multi-Ball, all values on the Path of Adventure are doubled. I don't know if this includes the Pit value.

The Hand of Fate
Lit from the inlanes and scored by hitting the Mode saucer. Lighting the inlanes is done by collecting INDY. If it is not collected at the saucer within a certain time it will timeout. The inlanes start out lit for 'Light Hand of Fate' at the beginning of each ball.
The animation is similar to the Mystery award on WhiteWater and is displayed twice - first showing a list of 4 awards and then choosing and awarding one of them. The list of 4 is selected from a larger list which includes:

10M points, 20M points, Lite Extra Ball, Eternal Life,
Quick Multi-Ball, Bonus X, Dogfight, Loop Person,
Lock Ball, Lite Path , Super Pops.
Notes: Loop Person spots one of Indy's friends, and the Eternal Life timer is operator settable. Lock Ball will increment the count of balls locked regardless of whether there are balls in the Idol or not.

If Light Extra Ball is on the list of 4, it is always the one which is awarded for some strange reason.

Path of Adventure
The letters from the word ADVENTURE can be spotted in on of two ways: either a direct hit on the corresponding target, or a hit on any of the three groups (ADV, ENT, URE) once that group is lit which will spot the next unlit letter. To explain the latter, if you have ADV_Ent_uRe, a hit on the ADV bank will spot 'N' for you. The 'Raise Jackpot' target will spot a letter if ENT are down.
Completing all the ADVENTURE targets lights the right ramp for Path of Adventure. When complete, shooting the right ramp gets you with the chance of playing on the raised mini-playfield. The objective here is to tilt the field left and right in an attempt to steer the ball over the lit rollovers (indicated by yellow lights) or into one of the holes (The Pit & Extra Ball). The number of lit rollovers increases by one each time you complete the Path without collecting The Pit, up to a max of 6.

Awards are as follows: First set of rollovers completed lights Extra Ball. Subsequent completed Path's light and then raise the Pit value by 25M to a max of 150M. Each lit rollover is worth 5M with a further 1M for each time you completed ADVENTURE without actually playing PoA. (limit of 10M per rollover) Once you have collected The Pit, PoA is still lit, but now the lit rollovers are travelling (this is new for L-3) - I assume the value of The Pit is reset. Hitting the first set of travelling rollovers relights the EB hole on the raised playfield.

Path of Adventure will remain lit until the 15 sec timer expires, or you drain. Complete ADVENTURE again to relight.

The Modes

It would have been nice to see these with a better definition than just Mode - some sort of big concept that they are based around. Admittedly, I can't think of anything that might fit the bill though.

Anyway, there are 12 of them based on significant scenes from the three movies (4 modes for each movie) which are displayed in the big open space in the centre of the playfield. They are collected by hitting the Start Mode saucer which is always lit unless there is another Mode or Multi-Ball running (it needs to be - the shot is harder than TZ's Slot Machine IMHO).

There is a 5M bonus just for starting any of the 12 Modes which are listed below in the order you would read them off the playfield:

Castle Grunewald
Hit the drop target, then pound away at the Captive Ball for points. Scoring is 5M, 10M & 15M for the three hits required for you to 'escape' from the castle making a total 35M (5M for starting) for the round.
In L-5 revision, nailing the Captive Ball so that it hits the second switch doubles the score for that shot (ie 10, 20 & 30M).

Tank Chase
Animation of Indy on a horse chasing a tank. Orbit value starts at 15M and counts down to 5M. Each loop gets Indy a bit closer to the tank and enough of them will get him onboard to to destroy the tank for a 30M end of mode bonus.
Note: The loop does not actually need to be completed to count. Early ROM's would count a loop if the two rollovers in the lane were hit in quick succession. Therefor you could get a loop credit from a ball leaving the pop bumpers on the left. Later revisions require that the bottom rollover be hit first.

Three Challenges
Shoot the right ramp for the Path to Adventure raised playfield. Challenges 1,2 & 3 are completed by hitting all lit rollovers for 10M, 20M & 30M respectively. All lit rollovers have to be hit during one pass of the Path to collect the points. This is pretty easy since they are usually in a row on one or other side of the Path (although Keefer claims to have had two next to each other on opposite sides!). The switches which are lit depends on whether The Pit has been collected or not; if not, you will have to hit 1, 2 & 3 switches for the Challenges; if it has, you will have to hit travelling lights but there is a bug here which makes it pretty useless at this point anyway (see Bugs: below)
Choose Wisely
Animation of the knight telling you to choose wisely. Five identical chalices are displayed, you are told which is the genuine article then you have to keep your eye on it while they are shuffled around. Then select using the flippers and choose by pulling the trigger on the gun (the plunger). Worth 5M if you blow it, 20M bonus if you get it right. Classic animation if you get it wrong ...... Subsequent attempts are at different speeds and buggy (see Bugs: below).
Monkey Brains
Rather gross display of a monkey's head with the brain exposed to the world and steaming happily. Hitting ramps and orbits scores 8M each and allows you to eat some brain (yuk!). The animation for this mode is quite entertaining if you are that way inclined, and the BUUUURRRRRPPPP sound effect is one of my favourites. This is a timed Mode with no end of Mode bonus.
Note: See Tank Chase note regarding loop scoring.

Steal the Stones
Shoot the right ramp for a chance to steal the Stones (yellow flashing lights) from the raised Path of Adventure playfield. Each stolen stone is worth 5M and there is a 20M bonus for collecting all 8.
Second time round, the last 4 stones float and you need to hit the last 2 of these on one pass to complete the Mode.

Escape in the Cart
Video Mode animation of Indy going through a mine in a cart. Use the flippers to choose which way to go to avoid the barriers - make 25 correct decisions to complete the mode and escape. Scoring is 5M plus 1M for each correct turn and 10M bonus for getting half way and 30M for completion. Note that the cart gets faster and faster the more turns you make, and there are minor bugs here too (see Bugs: below).
Survive the Rope Bridge
Timed round in which Indy is trying to cross the bridge. Successive ramp shots will move him further along and score 10M each. Four ramps are required to get him across, and a fifth to cut the rope. An Extra Ball will be lit at the Mode saucer if you complete the round.
Get the Idol
The objective of this Mode is to steal the Idol by shooting the lock sinkhole. This is complicated by the ENT targets which keep resetting and getting in the way. Each reset is accompanied by a quote as follows:
Start Mode: There's nothing to fear here.
That's what scares me.
First hit : Throw me the whip.
Second hit: Throw me the Idol.
Third hit : Give me the whip.
Fourth hit: Adios, senor.
After this, the targets remain down to expose the sinkhole. Scoring is 5M for 1 target, 10M for 2, and 20M for a sweep of all 3. Collecting the Idol is worth 20M, ends the Mode and locks a ball for Multiball.

It is possible to collect the Idol while the targets still stand (ie a 'You Cheat' lock) but there is nothing special awarded for doing this.

Streets of Cairo
Shoot the ramps and orbits to search for Marion under boxes (she's under the one the monkey is screeching on) - 10M each if Marion is not underneath. Finding Marion alters the display to show Indy being menaced by a sword wielding Arab type - score the Mode saucer to have Indy shoot him for a 20M bonus. It is also possible to blast the Arab by pulling the trigger on the plunger although that is only worth a paltry 2M points. There is a total time for this mode, so the sooner you find Marion, the longer you get to shoot the Arab, although you can rack up some serious points by deliberately shooting the boxes she is not under (this has changed for L-6 where you can only collect each box once).
Well of Souls
Hectic 6 ball Multi-Ball during which successive shots to the lock sinkhole are worth 2M x balls-in-play. Balls remain locked in the sinkhole for a short time before getting thrown back into play. After six shots into the sinkhole, the ENT targets will start to reset for each hole scored making subsequent shots a lot harder - it also helps if you start this Mode with the drop targets down.
Animation is of Indy in a room full of snakes which he torches when you hit the hole. This Mode lasts while there is more than one ball in play and thus there is no bonus for end of Mode.

Get the Medallion: Video Mode in which the flippers aim Indy's gun left and right to shoot bad guys in a the Raven Bar for 1M each (firing is automatic). An EB appears after enough bad guys have been toasted as does the Medallion (20 hits), shoot them to collect. The round ends when you either collect the Medallion (for 15M bonus) or the baddies shoot you enough (a lot like Video Mode in T2). Second time round you need to hit 25 baddies to get the Medallion to appear which (I'm told) is almost impossible. Note: In the animation, this is called the Raven Bar Video Mode.

During the Modes a shot to the Start Mode saucer during a Mode is worth a 1M Mode Bonus and the Captive Ball drop target is worth a 2M Mode Bonus. The exceptions to this are Streets of Cairo (after finding Marion), Castle Grunewald and the VM Modes (Choose Wisely, Escape the Mine and Raven Bar/Medallion) when the ball is locked there. As with Twilight Zone, the scores from these rounds are added to your bonus at the end of ball and can be pretty big.

A neat thing about these is that it's not the pop bumpers which alter the next lit one, but the ramps. Therefore, a skilled player should be able to select the mode he/she wants by shooting the appropriate number of ramps to light the required Mode and then collecting it.

Completing all 12 of the above lights Start Mode for:

Eternal Life MultiBall (Wizard award)

Completion of all 12 Modes awards the player with a 6 ball MultiBall. Eternal Life is on for about 30 secs and balls are pumped out onto the playfield. Every switch (except the outlanes) are lit for 10M each. Collecting ALL switches including the PoA ones scores 1B and relights all the switches for another go.

It would appear that this feature is one of the buggiest on the game. Sometimes it will give the animation for the 1B but not the points, and it will often leave the Path of Adventure playfield confused.

Combination Shots

There are no (known) combination shots on Indiana Jones. I suspect this is due to multiple ramps/loops having other functions (ie Dogfight and Friends Jackpot)

Extra Ball

This game is one of the most liberal when it comes to Extra Balls. Even on 'hard' settings you can fairly easily get 5, and on most games they seem to be unlimited. Also, all lit EB's are remembered between balls.

There are at least five ways of getting an EB from Indiana Jones:

Light the Path of Adventure then shoot the right ramp to play on the raised mini playfield. Steer the ball over the lit rollovers and as soon as the first set have been collected, the second hole will be lit for an EB. This means that it is possible to get an EB from the first pass of PoA, but in practice it is unlikely.
Further EB's are available every time you complete a set of rollovers after collecting The Pit.

Light the four I-N-D-Y rollovers 4 times to increase bonus to 8X and light Extra Ball at the Start Mode saucer. Collect by shooting the saucer.
Light the Hand of Fate from the inlanes. When collected at the Start Mode hole it will sometimes light an EB. Shoot Start Mode again to collect it.
Shoot Start Mode for Survive the Rope Bridge, cross the bridge and Extra Ball will be lit at the Mode saucer. Shoot Start Mode to collect.
Shoot Start Mode to start Raven Bar Video Mode. An Extra Ball is available after about enough bad guys have been blown away. Shoot it to collect.
Note: There are different Operator settings which allow different numbers of available EB's. For example, some settings only allow 1 EB to be collected using the first method above (INDY rollovers) whereas in others this is unlimited.

Multi-Ball

Multi-Ball on Indiana Jones is somewhat reminiscent of that on FishTales.

Briefly it's
Lite Locks - Lock 3 balls - Multi-ball: shoot left ramp to light jackpot, right to collect it (repeat twice) - Super Jackpot: Lit from left ramp, collected by hitting captive ball.
Locking Balls
Shoot the E-N-T drop targets to open a path to the sinkhole and lite the Lock. Balls can be locked with none of the targets down and gets you the quote "You cheat, Mr Jones" from Shorty and 5M.
Multi-Ball
Once 3 balls have been locked, you get an animation of our hero being chased by a huge rolling boulder and Multi-Ball starts. The 3 balls are returned from the idol to the right flipper in fairly quick succession and Eternal Life is on for a few seconds. Eternal Life is only on for the first Multiball though.
Jackpots
There are three of them; The Ark, The Stones and The Grail which are worth a base of 20M, 30M & 40M respectively. This base can be increased in one of two ways: First, there is 'raise jackpot total'. Shooting Start Mode adds 2M to it, the Captive Ball target adds 3M, the Captive ball adds 5M (10M if you really nail it and hit the back switch) and the Raise Jackpot target adds something (anybody know how much?). Second, shooting balls into the sinkhole will multiply the (base + raise jp) value: 1 ball gets you 2x and lights Jackpot if not already lit, and 2 balls gets you 3x. Balls fired into the sinkhole remain in the Idol until one of the following occurs:
You collect the Jackpot. Balls are released and Jackpot Multiplier is reset.
You have no balls left active on the playfield. The next ball is released from the Idol - Jackpot multiplier remains unchanged.
20 second timer expires. Balls are released and Jackpot Multiplier is reset.
Lighting the jackpot is done by successfully shooting the sinkhole or making the left ramp. Collecting jackpot is done by shooting the right ramp.

Super Jackpot
Collect all 3 Jackpots and Super Jackpot will be lit at the Captive Ball. There are 3 levels: 80M for the Arc, 90M for the Stones and 100M for the Grail, each one being lit from the left ramp. The raise jackpot total applies to these, but they cannot be multiplied and each one after the third seems to be worth around 105M-115M.
In short:

Jackpots are worth: (base + raise jackpot)*(balls in Idol + 1)

Super Jackpots are worth: base + raise jackpot

Jackpots will remain spotted until you have collected at least the first Super Jackpot and that multiball ends. Then you start from the Ark Jackpot again on the next multiball.

Multi-Ball restart
There ain't one ..... However, if you do drain two balls, the Jackpot remains lit until the timer expires (see notes). (But the Super Jackpot never remains lit and has _no_ grace period.)
Notes: There are some significant differences between P-x and L-x for Multiball:

The ENT drop targets reset at the start of Multiball and every time a ball gets sent to the Idol (2x & 3x multiplier) in L-x. This behavior can be set in L-x with the Easy Multiball option.
Super Jackpot values for P-x are 100M, 125M & 150M
If the Friends Jackpot is lit, the regular Jackpot will still be collected by a shot to the right ramp (so will the Friends) but only the animation for Friends jackpot will be displayed.

Multiball cannot be started during Toem Multiball (quick 2-ball)

Starting Multiball will suspend any Mode which is running which uses the Path of Adventure, but a nasty bug rears its head then.
