My first pin - **Updated With Problems**

Nice condition. That game is on my very short DMD wantlist. Just haven't found one in my area at the right moment.

You aren't a big fan of the DMDs?
I haven't played WWF Royal Rumble since it was on location, so it's been quite a while. I think Data East games are knocked down a peg in their ratings by default, simply because they are Data East. However, there are a few of them that are just as good as anything Bally/Williams put out. I think Jurassic Park is a top 20 SS pinball machine. It has deep modes, tricky shots, a fast and consistent flow, great DMD animation, and very strong use of its theme.

Not as much as the intermediate era solid state games or certain early SS games. Just don't seem to enjoy the overly complex DMD games as much.

Yeah, a lot of DMDs can have their flow broken up by long animations on the screen while the ball is being held in the subway or something like that. But for a lot of them, the DMDs do add to the overall game experience.

But not something positive to everyone. If the DMD isn't a functional part of the gameplay, and that would be the video modes I mentioned not liking, then it's not adding anything functional that the older displays don't do. What do I care if there is an animated cow floating across my score during gameplay?
