JP was one of my favorite pins as a kid and I have a bunch of nostalgia for the memories I have playing it on route. It is a solid game, but I enjoy other DE titles like Tommy and LAH much more. Most DMD DE games have a very similar set of modes/progression and I think LAH/Tommy have better layouts/mechanics for the DE rulesheet.

Baywatch, with no nostalgia (to this day I haven’t seen a single episode of the show) attached, is my favorite pinball of all time and would be the last to leave my collection. The way you start modes is interesting (and there are a ton of them) and it flows really well. The metal wire forms are enormous and are very smooth returning the ball to the left inlane.

There’s new code from ChadH I can’t wait to try and not one but two color solutions for the large DMD (one out currently and the other is in development).

If you can look past the theme or embrace the cheese, Baywatch offers you an enormous amount of entertainment for very little cash. Get one before the rest of the unwashed masses figure out its a great game!
