Jurassic Park Pinball New Code v.1.02

TL;DR

Jack Danger plays Jurassic Park Pinball v1.02 with casual commentary and chat interaction.

Summary

Key Claims

• Newer pinball machines use less power than older EM machines; Spike-based machines draw very low power until coils fire, at which point capacitor discharge causes power draw spikes.

  medium confidence · Jack discusses power consumption of Sam Stern pinball machines and attempts to run one on a USB power bank, noting that the Spike board itself draws minimal power but coil firing causes issues.

• A Sam Stern pinball machine can run on a USB power bank until a coil fires, at which point the power draw becomes insufficient.

  high confidence · Jack reports direct experience: 'I plugged a Sam Stern pinball machine into this and was able to run the game. The second I tried to fire a coil, everything went to shit.'

• Aerosmith pinball is a game that 'fell off the face of the earth' and would be a good candidate for a re-theme.

  medium confidence · Jack's opinion during gameplay: 'Aerosmith is a game that kind of fell off the face of the earth. I don't know why. But I think that game would lend itself to a really good re-themed table.'

• Back to the Future pinball (Zen VR version) is 'okay' and 'Papa Duke cool'.

  medium confidence · Chat discussion mentions 'The Zen Back to the Future table is Papa Duke, legit. Yeah, it's Papa Duke cool.'

• Co-op modes in pinball are becoming more common in future game titles.

  low confidence · Chat asks if more games will get co-op modes. Jack responds: 'I would venture to guess that you're going to see more co-op modes in future titles... Just because of how effing cool it is.'
