Summary
BlahCade reviews Zen's digital Indiana Jones release, praising accurate physics but noting complexity in physics naming conventions.
Chris and Jared from BlahCade Pinball Podcast discuss the digital release of Indiana Jones pinball by Zen Studios across FX3 and legacy platforms. They analyze the physics accuracy (particularly praising Pro Physics for its faithful representation of the real machine), examine gameplay mechanics including ramp combos and mode-based scoring, compare Zen Physics vs. Pro Physics settings, and note visual enhancements like Indiana Jones having a protective plastic shield on the playfield. They also discuss supply chain concerns related to Zen Studios' Budapest location near the Ukraine conflict.
It's here! Indiana Jones was released this week on every platform that carries Pinball FX3. We discuss our thoughts on playing (admittedly not much) of it. We also discuss (again) why the game costs what it does. Spoiler alert, licensing isn't cheap.
