    Given that this machine was so immaculately preserved in that box for 25 years, would it not be possible to extract its DNA and make perfect clones?

The Nokia Repair Centre in Finland said the phone had water damage, when for a fact it had never seen any water because I take extra care of all my gadgets and especially a new phone. Bastards still insisted it was my fault. Still, they had alot of clearing up to do when I left the shop.

    "A pinball machine that has been 25 years in the making." Bravo. This game is roughly "mid production" during the construction run of this title as identified by the S/N and date. Brings back memories of the two JPs I helped set up NIB in 1993 at State College, PA. "Ball search" problems are to be expected, if the game has not been burned in tested or on legs.

Sure brought back some memories of me in my job at a movie theater (while Jurassic Park was playing) and that pinball was in the lobby. There were a few times that I came close to being late to clock in because I was tearing it up on that machine. Usually with a few kids watching who I would eventually turn my game and won credits over to when I had to give it up. Good times. Very nice find and I'm frankly envious.

    I was way into pinball when I was a kid. Each summer my family would camp our way from California back east to visit relatives (1968-1972). Every campground that had a small concession/snack bar usually had a couple of pinball machines, so I would play them all the way across the U.S. and back each summer. Back then they were very basic. It was a dime for a single game and a quarter for three games. There was a mechanical plunger you pushed in to load the next ball and another spring loaded one you pulled to shoot the ball. Many hours of pure fun.

    I was born in 98, so this thing was built a couple of years before I was born but I remember playing on a similar machine in the early 2000's at a local pizza place and I would play the hell out of it!!! It looked the exact same as this one but the only difference I could spot was that the the t-rex on the machine that I played on was painted a dark green. Other than that, watching this video brought back a lot of memories!

No ticket games, 20-30 pinball tables and over 100 arcade cabinets. Everything 25-75 cents, except the newer pinballs like the new star wars and beetles which I know is over $1 per play

While I'd love very much to have all that money now, I don't begrudge a single play. Thank you for the walk down memory lane.

    It's always interesting to discover forgotten stuff that sat in a corner somewhere for decades... My friend's grandmother and her 2nd husband bought a sit down / cocktail Ms.Pac Man machine sometime in the 1981/82 timeframe. I was only over their house once, probably in the summer of '82, and I thought that it was the coolest shit imaginable that somebody's grandparents had an arcade game in their den!!! And you are friggin kidding me... you can play it without having to put in quarters?!?! [my 8 year old mind melted]. Anyways, my friend's grandma gets a divorce from 2nd husband a year or two later and from what my friend was told... that was the end of the Ms.Pac Man machine... apparently step-grandpa took it with him in the divorce. Turns out grandma had it moved into the storage / laundry room attached to the back of the garage in preparation to sell it, but eventually that must have fell through. At some point, she threw a sheet over it and had old books and christmas decorations and shit stacked on top of it for over 30 years! My friend was over there countless times and never noticed it.... he sent me a picture of it when he discovered it after grandma passed away. He said it powered up and looked playable on the screen, but the speakers were making an awful noise, so he shut if off until somebody qualified could look at it... this all happened a good five or six years ago by now... and I haven't talk to him much recently... but finding this video has inspired me to social media stalk him and find out what happened to it... can't let it be lost again to a dusty corner! "Hey Old Friend... it's been too long! how's the wife and kids? job treating you well? So.... what ever happened to that Ms.Pac Man machine from Dead Grandma's house?"

    Oh man, this was a titanic blast of childhood nostalgia for me. I was 10 in 1993, and Jurassic Park was MY THING. I was desperate to see the movie, and my mom said she wouldn't let me see the movie until I read the book first. So I read the book that weekend, LOVED IT, and then saw the movie 7 times in the theater. At the mall, right next to the movie theater, was the "Tilt Arcade" and after every screening of Jurassic Park, and many other movies I'd see at the Harkins Tri-City 5 theater in subsequent years, I'd go to the arcade after the movie and play Jurassic Park Pinball. 1993 is the only single year of my life I'm SUPER nostalgic about, so this insanely cool to see.

    And dispute the size of the connectors, most the the issues with older pinball and arcade games was over current burnout of the connectors. In fact I rarely seen a pinball backboard without some of the harnesses blackened from burning up. We used to run extra wires to shore up the +5V and +12V power rails.
