When the game was first released I played a few quick games and came away just meh. Found one yesterday and put about 15 games on it. Gotta say this game is a blast to play. Have no clue really what to do. Multiballs seem to happen randomly. So many shots from all the flippers. The one I was playing had a weak left flipper but still found most of the shots satisfying. The first 4 or 5 games I sucked big time but started to click after that. Averaged around 100 mil per game. Had one 400 mil game and got Raptor Tri-ball champ but no high score. Last game was my best and got high score #4 with 448 mil.

I'm going to go back and play it today and have a few questions. What area should I attack/shoot for first? Can multiballs be stacked? And during multiballs, after hitting the jackpots and super jackpots do you have to clear the chaos letters? And is the shot right of the truck and left of the ramp doable? The only way I hit the target was from the bumpers or was it designed that way?

Thanks guys. Super jealous of you owners Great game!

HELP

Got a quick question as a new owner of a JP pro. How do I update the code? Do I download the code to a USB stick, SD card or something else? Aug 2020 build that is currently on 1.02

Thanks

Could they make it anymore difficult? Why not a instructional video like they used to have? I last updated a star trek in 2016 and it was pretty straight forward. I'm computer illiterate and have no clue on zipping and moving files or even what USB stick I have. Guess I'll start there. Find out if I need a new USB stick, turn on the laptop and go from there.

The free play card is a little disturbing

I've been playing pinball at least 35 years, consider myself a above average player and this is by far the hardest game I've owned, albeit playing on a old code. I already know the wife and few non pinball friends who stop by will not appreciate it after 2 days of playing it. If I'm bricking a tonne of shots, newbs are going to do the same.

Too bad we weren't closer. I think I'm going to try and trade mine for hopefully a Metallica or AIQ. Longshot would be a Godzilla!

Hey I see your in Colorado. My wife and are very kind and up for a road trip anytime

Imdn or JP?

Not sure JP is for me. Zero attachment to theme (never seen any movies) while Maiden was one of my favorite bands growing up. Metallica and AC/DC are my favorite games so kinda leaning towards IMDN but any time I've played maiden on location I just throw my money away. I never have a good game it seems. Will it be the same at home?

Hey my favorite covid thread doc!

I picked up a pro recently running on 1.02 code and the raptor pen did nothing. I thought something was wrong also. Had the playfield up and checking connectors and wires. If I did the wizard code challenge the targets work fine to refuel but nothing during the regular game. Did a code update to 1.07 yesterday and now the gate/pen works amazing. The raptor multiball is awesome. I can't believe the previous owner never updated the code. A major part of the game is missing. Loving it now.

Wish I was closer.

Best game yet. Made it to the visitor center. This game is a blast

What's the helicopter spinner? I recently picked up a stock pro with cliffy shooter lane protector. Thinking of ordering wizardmod art blades, a shaker and some lit flipper buttons (hate the white buttons) and probably that cool looking raptor pen mod

I found this hologram card in a drawer today. Have no idea where it came from but it works until I get some cards printed

Not sure how I got to Secure Control room but that was intense. Secured 3 rooms. Drained on that super tight shot right of the right ramp.

2 questions for anyone willing to help.

How do you light control room a second and/or third time? I know the 1st one is lit after completing the first paddock.

How do you light the rescue target/timer?

Thanks

I'm just going to assume I completed all 3 control rooms to make it to Secure Control Room? Should have payed closer attention

Just had my best t-rex multiball

I just discovered yesterday that you can change the smart missile reward. Wondering what you guys usually choose? Not that I hit it very often. Truck always seems to be on right direction and I brick the shot. However it is very satisfying to occasionally slip one thru

I did get a raptor mb yesterday. Tried the clear paddock when I just started a paddock but missed of course. Haven't seen a extra ball option yet.

I sometimes aim to flip the truck and hope the ball falls back to flippers in time to get a second shot at the smart missle.

I actually pulled this off yesterday. Was very satisfying but i was off on my game and wasted both EBs. Ha

It's been a couple weeks now on 1.7 code. My grand champ is just over 900 mil and HS#4 is 650 mil. I'd say average game is 300 to 400 mil. Now that I discovered the changing smart missile and 2nd EB, I image I'll crack a billion soon.

I find good scores are games where I get the 2x going during control rooms, multiballs and dino events. Unfortunately I outlane drain right after getting 2x scoring more often then not.

2nd time visiting the visitor center. 1st time i cracked a billion. Earned a second EB from smart missle

I made it again to visitors center today but only finished with 800 million. No fossils, low rescues and DNA.

Can someone help explain DNA combos? Thanks

Thanks so much. I'm now converted. I held up the right flipper tonight after watching your video and hit 6 helipad shots in a row.
