New Beta - INDIANA JONES
Louis Koziarz
Didn't get to play it a whole lot, this baby was taking in quarters left
and right. A few impressions:
Is this a Steve Ritchie machine? There are no credits on the inlanes like
usual, but it feels like one, especially the ramps which kind of resemble T2.
The gun/plunger screams Ritchie as well.
The machine is a pleasent surprise. The playfield is colorful and well done,
the artwork is excellent, and the sound is incredible. Maybe because it was
cranked up all the way, but the soundtrack sounded as good as the movie.
Plus tons of those juicy Lucasfilm sound effects! "Here is how we say
goodbye in Germany, Mr. Jones....WHAP!"
The playfield, of all things, reminds me of Rocky and Bullwinkle for
some reason. Especially the lock in the middle center. The neat gimmick
is a mini-playfield in the upper left that the player tilts left and right
with a flipper, trying to navigate the ball past holes in the floor. Cool!
I can't believe I got to a WMS beta before any of the other r.g.p gang.
What gives? :P See ya...

Labyrinth! Actually, I think some novelty-game company (maybe the one that
Brian Schmidt has been doing a lot of work for recently) has an entire game
which is basically Labyrinth for tickets.

Hey, be sure to give us the scoop on Last Action Hero. Shouldn't it be in
test in just a few days?
(My excuse is that I live 750 miles away.)
