Not a bad game, has fun shots and spinners. Things to check are the snagger assembly (which used to be a pain in the ass to rebuild or find parts for, I think it's gotten easier to find parts for?..it's been several years since I had to)
It is also an insanely difficult game to complete and get to ''San Diego''. If you don't care about that, fun pin overall.
I love this game. Fast and straightforward. It's similar to Iron Man in that respect.
Nice thing is, this game is cheap. It has the worst video mode of all-time.
$1,000-1,200 make sure that snagger works!
So I own one.. Tony used to have it....Here is my take.
I LOVE JP. LOVE IT. I have the books, the movies, saw the new one in 3d. I was pumped to play the original JP when I first got into pinball. Hated it. Maybe I need more time on it, but I don't go out looking for it.
Now when Tony (in mn) had LWJP, I played it and loved it. It has many modes, that utilize all the different shots. Timed modes. Good call outs, funny call outs. Multitude of shots and if you can alternate the ramps, it feels pretty good. The snagger ball lock is pretty cool, but can be disabled if you think it slows the game down. Plays 1-6 player as well, which is unique to those segas.
Should be in the mid $1k in good shape.
Quoted from tonymiddendorf:It has the worst video mode of all-time.
Even worse that JM?
I have one and really enjoy it. The snagger toy can be a huge pain if it's not working properly. And the egg was beat to hell in the routed machines. I have a nice one with NOS egg, a topper that was never used (im using it), and nice working snagger toy. Those sega targets are cheaply made. Nobody mentioned this yet but the shaker motor in this machine is used REALLY well....multiball is kick ass! Yes as others have said...video mode is horrible. But it's a very challenging game....I have yet to reach San Diego. It looks great with LEDs.....those lights in the back underneath the ramps are a PITA to reach tho. Nice mode based game with funny call outs, a great musical score, and simple yet entertaining skill shot.
I like mine....not leaving my collection.
Oh ya. The stand ups can break pretty easy. I've replaced maybe 4-5 already, but also the plastic holder that holds the stand up and the button break too. Always nice to have a few on hand.
Oh duh the video mode....yeah...big after thought. Not fun, just a button push like pitfall.
