Jurassic Park Pro Trex mod

Meh - just looks like a diplodocus anyway, all of them do. It's a really annoying thing for me, because the T-REX has really defined features and a thin neck, whereas the model they used just pulls everythign into a bit of a box.

I think mine will go to the warcraft guy for painting which will improve the look significantly.

This game is staying with me for quite a while . . . . I can't get enough of it.

JP2 is the greatest game ever made. The hyperbole continues with me, just love it. Cool mod, not sure I can be ****d to mess with it though.

I can't stop playing it and was unprepared for just how good it is. It's set the bar irritatingly high.

I was going to ask ‘where can you go next?’ when you picked it up, but thought I’d sit on my hands for a while... Maiden, maybe. But then everything else is selling off children for even newer/shinier or back to the older (lesser?) games again. Don’t get me wrong, I would’ve loved that Premium on here!
 
I have a Deadpool arriving on Weds which I'm very excited about.

Whilst I don't judge too much on theme I would have to ignore quite a lot that I don't like in order to get a Maiden.

These are very much home use pinballs though, it requires learning, luck, strategy and most importantly time to fully enjoy them. The first time I played JP2 was in an arcade and I thought it was awful. This is not a game to spend a fiver and 30 minutes on. You need to spend time, learn the rules and plot a course.

The polar opposite is AFM which is every inch a brilliant arcade machine designed to take your loose change and keep you coming back. The first time I played it the objective was obvious and simple which is it's weakness as a home machine in a small collection.

These modern offerings are something different though, designed to empty your bank account rather than your pockets 😂.

They have such a deep code that there will always be plenty to do. With Stern producing at a ridiculous rate there will always be choice.

So what's next? Avengers, Stranger Things, Turtles, Maiden, Black Knight? I've no idea Paul but for someone with limited space getting the right balance is the aim.
 
after watching Marty this morning I played a bit of JP2 and had a few decent games, it's just one of those games you have to play a lot. I still think the jeep/smart missile shot is a bit Iffy though.

Bang on, I thought it was bad along with Wonka and Stranger Things in there. I guess I need them at home to find out what they are really like before I judge them like that.
A lot of love for JP2 so can’t be that bad!
AFM still a blast to play now and again but better in a larger collection like you said👍
Man, so many good pins to choose from these days. No wonder there are so many divorces😂

You were there that day too mate. We had 10-15 mins on each machine and it was so hard to appraise everything. I distinctly remember chucking a few coins in Wonka and JP and really not understanding what all the fuss was about.

In fact I was struck by how much better GOTG was. On reflection it was just a better blast for £2 and 10 mins of my time.

MM was a let down too if you remember 😂
 
Looks like it connects to either a flasher or the jeep and is a servo motor (or other motor) to move the head and bring it back to centre. Must use an opto I guess to bring it back to centre.

Yeah - looks good. Depends on cost I guess.
 
Is the head on the the Pro, and Prem the same part, just one being bolted in place rigid ( the pro) and the other is on a swivel mount controlled by servos(prem) ?

Are you coming around a little on the absolute epic that is JP2 mate? Good stuff. I remember a similar shift with Stern Star Trek.
 
No it’s a good game but I don’t think it’ll be be great for me.
