Fun Pin. Not the best, but starting modes is easy and the 6 ball multiball is great.

It is a decent game, but I found it to be a bit too busy. The left side of the PF is cluttered and there are times where it really isn't clear where to shoot for the objective. The t-rex is pretty cool, but somehow, this game just did not feel smooth.

Artwork is great, as always with many Data East tables. Animations are not bad, music is okay.

I do like the skill shot though. It is a bit challenging after the first one.

In the end, I like it, but I don't like it... It just does not play as smooth as other games.

This game is a good family Pin. T-rex eats the ball and pounds the ground to get you. Makes you feel like your running through the park. Shaker motor was a must for this game. Fun and very enjoyable pin.

Jurassic Park is an action packed game. Fun to play, but not very challenging. Hit the outlane, light the scoop, start the mission. You only have to light the mission to earn completion. The most action packed part is when t-rex multiball leads to completion of chaos.....then 6 ball multiball! What makes this game really unique is the NUKE. BTW it sounds awesome with external bass.

This is a hidden gem. Great game. Sure, they TOTALLY ripped off the layout of Whirlwind, but WW is a great game too! The Dino toy rocks, it has a shaker motor, the electric fence kickback is super cool, and there's a smart missile. Great game, decent theme, probably Data East's best pin.

Just picked this game up locally. Good shape at a great price.

The Pros:
all the modes (stackable too)
easy to follow
great animation
great toys
challenging but not impossible shots... (even through the pop bumpers)
has enough flow to keep the ball rolling.
useful third flipper

The cons
crowded playfield on left side
Art is cheesy
Sounds are plain

This machine is great bang for the buck which as someone who wants to own plays a big part. Slap a bally or Williams name on it and watch the rating soar

One of the best Data East DMD games. Kind of an Addam's Family ripoff, but it works.

Jurassic Park was a game that I owned and refurbished before eventually selling it because of lack of space. I still think of it fondly and miss having it in my collection. The amazing mechanical T-Rex that eats the ball was a favorite part of this pin. The game play was smooth with a third flipper to make it more dynamic. The voices, sounds and sound effects were also great for the lineage of this machine.

At 1st I didn't like this pin. but after changing my mind set and realizing it is a catch and shoot primarily, I have changed my mind and find it pretty decent.

I love the t-rex and eating the pinball, like seeing peoples expression the 1st time it happens. The rule set is decent and has enough to keep you busy. I like all of the chances of multi-ball and getting 6 going at once is fun.

The first pin I can remember playing and when the T-Rex picked up the ball, wow! Definitely up the top of the want list for nostalgia but also the game play still holds up and hopefully the rules update will send it even higher.

I've enjoyed this game for several years in my collection and find it to be a very enjoyable title. Every single guest who comes over heads right to this game and poops their pants when T-rex eats their ball. While certainly not the deepest rule-set, the theme is perfect and goals are easy to understand yet difficult to achieve. Perhaps the only thing that could really improve this game would be the addition of another ramp.

This is a decent pin, but nothing really special. Some really good shots and some fun toys (particularly the T-Rex). Worth a few plays but then quickly forgettable.

Played this pin at the Michigan Pinball Expo, this machine is really cool, its got quite a bit going on for it, my favorite part is the "danger" area where it flings the ball down the middle, showing a raptor breaking through a fence on the DMD, this game has real personality, I like it

Gangplank has this game on the wishlist.

The T-rex toy is right up there for greatest toy of all time (second only maybe to the Medieval Madness castle). I can't get enough of that thing grabbing the ball and then chewing it up.

I have a sound upgrade so this machines sound is AMAZING! This is one of the machines I really remember from the pub years ago. Loved it then and still do now.

Brilliant brilliant machine. A friend came round and off all the ones I have this was his favourite. He loved how fast it was.

Can't believe these sell so cheap. I wouldn't sell mine as just too much fun

Enjoyed it more than the movie! Like the skill shot and T-Rex "eating" your ball is one of the cooler toys in pinball. Also like the missile shot --- saves your ass on ball three when you haven't accomplished anything on your first two balls! Nice layout and flow. Would like to play more often.

My favorite part of this game is watching T-Rex eat the pinball. Lots of easy and harder shots to hit. Enjoy the top right flipper. Game I played was in okay shape, everything worked but the PF was faded and worn. Very pleased with my experience though.
