Fortune and Glory: Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure (Model 835)

Relive the pulse-pounding excitement of the greatest adventurer in cinema history with the Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure. Produced by Williams in 1993, this machine (part of the elite Williams “SuperPin” series) is widely recognized by the Model 835 designation in technical manuals, specifically regarding its high-powered FL-11835 flipper assemblies. This wide-body masterpiece brings the original trilogy—Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and The Last Crusade—to life right in your game room.

The Ultimate “SuperPin” Experience

As a “SuperPin,” the Model 835 features a playfield that is wider than standard machines, allowing for a more complex layout and deeper immersion. It isn’t just a game; it is a cinematic journey that tasks you with recovering the world’s most dangerous artifacts across 12 distinct “Modes” based on scenes from the films.

Iconic Playfield Features

• The Path of Adventure: A unique, player-controlled “tilting” mini-playfield. Use the flipper buttons to steer the ball across a treacherous bridge to collect jewels and light the “Pit” rewards.

• The Idol of Gold: A physical Golden Idol head that “swallows” balls to lock them for the 3-ball or 6-ball Multiball—one of the most satisfying mechanical locks in pinball history.

• The Bi-Plane Combat: A motorized rotating plane on the playfield that interacts with your shots during the “Dogfight” mode.

• The Holy Grail: Discover the true cup to activate high-scoring modes and progress toward the final Wizard Mode: The Eternal Life.

The Power of the 835 Configuration

The Model 835 is famous for its “Heavy-Duty” engineering. Because the wide-body playfield is larger and the shots are longer, Williams utilized the FL-11835 flipper coils. These are among the most powerful coils used in the 90s, ensuring that the ball has enough velocity to clear the steep ramps and reach the back of the massive playfield.

Technical Engineering Highlights

1. DCS Sound System: This was the first game to feature the High-Fidelity DCS sound system. It features the actual John Williams score and custom speech recorded by John Rhys-Davies (Sallah).

2. 6-Ball Multiball: The 835 spec is designed to handle up to six balls on the playfield simultaneously during the “Well of Souls” jackpot mode without a drop in power.

3. Rotating Idol: A complex mechanical sub-assembly that physically rotates to capture or release balls based on the game state.

Authentic 1993 Cabinet & Display

The Indiana Jones Model 835 is a visual powerhouse. The cabinet artwork features a beautiful montage of Indy, Marion, and the villains of the franchise, while the Dot Matrix Display (DMD) shows custom-rendered animations of mine cart chases and boulder escapes.

• Wide-Body Dimensions: At 29 inches wide, this machine has a “presence” that commands attention in any collection.

• Collector-Grade Restoration: At MyPinballMachine, our units feature vibrant, non-faded cabinet art and polished chrome trim that looks as if it just stepped off the 1993 assembly line.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What does “Model 835” refer to on this machine?

In technical terms, 835 refers to the FL-11835 flipper coil designation. These specific coils were required to give the ball enough “kick” to navigate the larger, heavier wide-body playfield of the Indiana Jones machine.

2. How does the “Path of Adventure” work?

The Path of Adventure is a suspended mini-playfield. When activated, the machine’s main flippers cease to function, and the buttons instead tilt the entire mini-playfield left and right, allowing you to guide the ball through a series of targets.

3. Is the sound really from the movies?

Yes! Thanks to the DCS sound hardware, the machine features high-quality clips of the iconic theme song and voiceovers from the original cast members, creating an incredibly immersive experience.

4. How do I maintain the “Idol” mechanism?

The Idol is a robust gear-driven toy. During our restoration process, we reinforce the motor and clean the opto-sensors to ensure it reliably captures and releases balls for years to come.

5. Does it come with a warranty?

Every machine from MyPinballMachine comes with a 1-year mechanical warranty and lifetime technical support. Because it uses the standard Williams WPC system, parts are readily available worldwide.
