Jurassic Park or Fishtales

JP,but I think the FT might bring in more money. But they are pinballs, not stock market investments
 
Are you looking to flip them or play them?

JP - great under rated game, cool features like the T-Rex and Raptor kickback. Good rule set.
$1700-$2200

FT - awesome theme and flow but HORRIBLE back woods hill billy music kills it.
$2-$2500
 
I have a JP that I really like. But I have the opportunity to trade for a FT which I played a ton as a kid and really liked. I am leaning towards just keeping the JP and saving up for a FT.
 
Yeah, if you're looking to acquire on fun factor, I vote JP all the way. (I've personally never been able to get into Fish Tales in any way.)
 
jp

doesnt everyone like dinosaurs? but again, a bad day of fishing better then a good day of work!
 
I had both. Dumped the JP.

The JP art is awful, the sounds are total DE...Just not my thing. I wouldnt kick it out of the gameroom if I found a smokin deal on one someday though.

Love FT, love the music, theme, fun pin.
 
JP vs FT

Kind of a toss up...I honestly don't think either are great pins but the themes are appealing. JP is a more fun game than FT but FT will bring slightly more money if reselling. JP does have cooler features but that annoying roar between balls can be the worst. "RooooAAAArrrrr!" Terrible. Although I did see a $2200 JP the other day...I could've had one for $900 a few months ago..wtf. Of course these are just my opinions.
 
I loathe both games, but if they were the only two pins left in the world, I'd go for FT.

It's a Williams game. Nuff said.

Data East pins feel so cheaply made, IMO. But JP's popularity has been on fire as of late. Probably just a nostalgia thing for most people, but I hated the game even when it was new.
 
*UPDATE*

I ended up selling my Jurassic Park and getting a nice Fish Tales. I have to say Fish Tales is WAY more fun. Fish Tales is a fast and hard game but so much fun! If I only have a short time to play I will play Fish Tales over my other pins. Games are SO fast. The banjo music is great. I am not sure why people complain about it. It goes with the theme perfectly.
LEDs are also a must for FT!
