Don't you remember the chant of the B/W snobs?

DATA EAST.. .. Played the LEAST !!

I have a SW and really enjoy the game. Quite fast and good fun.

Alot of people still dont get the fact that most bally williams are over priced and over-rated.

Bally-williams are no less or no more a machine than sega, data east etc. Its like holden v ford or mercedes v bmw. a bit of wank really.

Any serious collector will have a good spread of machines in their line up.
Although, I did meet 1 x guy who will not touch or play, or keep any machine unless it is a bally-williams. his entire 1 x dozen collection was nothing but bally-williams and he made sure to make that clear. I JUST THOUGHT WHAT A WANKER !

Data East - played the least. PROBABLY SOMETHING THAT TOSSER WOULD SING. LOL  ^^^ ^^^ ^^^

After over a year of mucking around, I have finally got my Jurassic Park working perfectly. I had issues with the Left and Right Motor. I recieved a DOA and had to wait 3 months for a new one - anyway - I played it for an hour straight tonight, and the game is certainly BETTER than most DE's and puts some overpriced Bally/Williams to shame.

Take away the manufacturer's label and play the game on its merits. Every collection should have a Data East.

up until recently i was not a big data east fan, but since playing and working on brett's D.E. pins I do think they are well built (other than the fuse holders) but every pin manufacturer has it's cons and pros

Have an Star Wars DE and its great. Had it for 2 years and been pretty reliable. Did have an issue with the power board though but seems ok now.

Its one of those pins that you can just pick up and play no heavy rule set. Great art and light show.

The family loves it and been told that its got to stay no matter what.
