Given that this machine was so immaculately preserved in that box for 25 years, would it not be possible to extract its DNA and make perfect clones?

The music from that machine is awesome

high quality machine....the manufacturers spared no expense!

Am i the only one who feels like 1993 was 10 years ago?

This is just so INCREDIBLE!! Works right out of the box 26 years later!

Man, i love that old Data East / SEGA vibe, especially in the sound design. It's so recognizable coming from any other DE cabinet of that time.

What a machine, and what a story! 25 years in storage and works like a champ. This also shows that things used to built to last, nowadays things are built to be replaced...

Amazing. This belongs in a museum or my house.

Looks like the machine was encased in Amber!😀

If only i could find a working boxed & unopened Adams Family.. my life would be complete... so happy for you guys.. such a find...

Love how they had the forethought to use "heavy duty" dry zinc carbon cells for the SRAM backup, they're probably still good too. If they were alkaline they would have spewed their guts all over that PCB a decade ago.

So glad that people are preserving pinball. Most I ever had for the tiny arcade back in the 90s was like 10 quarters. We used to just play the video cabinets because the pinball machines could devour those 10 quarters at any time.

What a privilege to unbox a 25 years old pinball machine, congrats!!

"A pinball machine that has been 25 years in the making." Bravo. This game is roughly "mid production" during the construction run of this title as identified by the S/N and date. Brings back memories of the two JPs I helped set up NIB in 1993 at State College, PA. "Ball search" problems are to be expected, if the game has not been burned in tested or on legs.

ive only seen one in my life that was back when i was 8. Such a beautiful pinball machine. Nice to see one completely new and never have any issues.

Let me tell you what is funny. We are looking back at old tech and admiring it for how amazing and reliable products were made by our parents in stead of how low tech and horrible they were back then compared to now. The reality is, we have lost our touch for quality in the rat race for money

Great job guys, you really made it feel like you were seeing and experiencing Tutankhamun's tomb opening for the first time, I was really on edge when you pulled the glass free and then letting that 25 year old air out, hope there's no curse!

Road Trip!!!!!! I will have to come up there and see that for myself. Time capsule from 1993. Amazing!

Every pinball enthusiasts dream what you guys have just done. WHAT a find and what a joy. You're unboxing rare history of finding something so old that's still NEW. I could feel how you felt and I'm sure everyone watching could also

This assistant not allowed to touch anything on his own or even talk...

new-old stock mechanical pinball machine stored in unknown conditions for 26 years, works fine... meanwhile, if you take your brand new Macbook outside when the humidity is above 10%it dies and Apple blames you for setting the moisture sensors off.

I was salivating watching that. JP is one of my favorite machines of that era. And one of the ones that I was best at. Sure brought back some memories of me in my job at a movie theater (while Jurassic Park was playing) and that pinball was in the lobby. There were a few times that I came close to being late to clock in because I was tearing it up on that machine. Usually with a few kids watching who I would eventually turn my game and won credits over to when I had to give it up. Good times. Very nice find and I'm frankly envious.

Brings me back to when I was a kid in the early 80s, when pinball machines were hot. Pinball machine designers sure had a cool job making these!

Almost teared up a couple times at viewing this. It's one of those things in life that is REAL magic. Incredible!

This is one of the coolest unboxings I have ever seen!

"is it heavy?" Yeah "then it's expensive, put it back!" Haha

When this came out I was working at a big arcade in St. Louis called Exhilarama (Crestwood Mall). We had 4 or 5 of these JP pins new when they came out. Was great fun back in the day.

Thanks for the memories. I remember feeding so many quarters and tokens into a JP pinball and hearing “Welcome to Jurassic Park” very cool.

I remember dumping so much money into one of these, at Alladin's Castle in Valdosta, GA. Also helped the owner rewire the harness for the Gun cause it had developed a short. Brought back some great memories.

So very cool! F-14 Tomcat will always be my favorite pinball game and the one to begin my love for these machines.

My grandfather bought me one of these at a yard sale brand new in box sometime in the early 2000's.. I still have it in the box and it's never been opened. Thanks for reminding me of him and this machine.

I grew up near a little corner store that always had one or two pinball games, i remember they did have this game. i spent many of quarters and time at that store with friends seeing who can get the highest scores and tournaments against eachother. Such good memories this brings back, i loved playing pinball machines.

Man I remember playing this back in the old days at the arcades after watching the movie 🍿 best days ever no bills no worries 😉

The artwork on that is fantastic, but the real Jem is the electronics, what a work of art! There is one of these at a arcade/bowling alley in a town 75 miles from me I used to live in in the early eighties. I got a stack of quarters and spent a while playing it. Was a little rusty, but I got several thousand points, a bunch of credits, and #4 in the initial ranking. Was a lot of fun

Great video unboxing. It's nice to see IC machines without leaky batteries. I used to operate and repair electro-mechanical pinball machines and jukeboxes in the early 70s. Not many of us left that fix those.

That's one cool machine in amazing shape. Fired right up out of the box like a champ.

Thank you for sharing, 40 minutes and 15 seconds magic! What a feeling :)

One of my all-time favorites for playability. Cool beans.

Ah, memories, sweet memories! So many hours, so many quarters spent playing various pinball games. I was growing up just as the arcade craze was hitting, and must have spent several fortunes playing the countless games available near my home. While I'd love very much to have all that money now, I don't begrudge a single play. Thank you for the walk down memory lane.

That thing is gorgeous!! So cool to open it brand new after so many years. Thanks for sharing.

This is when you pull it apart and scan all the artwork , for posterity. And Virtual pinball recreation.

Wow! What a trip to my youth man. Really nice video and thanks for sharing.

Awesome find! Thanks for opening up this machine and posting this little piece of history up for all to see Brad. For those who don't know... Brad is an awesome pin-brother. Top notch, quality guy that I had the pleasure of meeting several times at both the Allentown PA. and Pintastic New England pinball shows. His Virtual Pinball Cabinet machines are awesome machines too. Definitely recommend his high quality products. Thanks again for the great unboxing video Brad. Well done! 👍

I just had surgery and I have been couch bound watching youtube for a week. This is, by far, the coolest video I've seen yet. I was 5 when that machine was made, and I remember renting Jurassic Park. Thank you for recording this and posting it!

This was incredibly cool and interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Man, this game brings back so many memories. Love it!

I remember that the way to throw the ball in this game with "the gun" and the screen seemed awesome to me as a child. Nice machine and beatiful memories. Greetings from Spain!

So jealous! Jurassic park pinball was one of my absolute favorites as a kid.. so much money and time sunk into this machine. Nice find fellas

Amazing stuff. Pinball machines are such an underappreciated piece of tech these days.

When the machine powered on I fell in love.

This was the best pinball machine I've ever played. I remember when I was younger doing 10 miles just to play it, it was so entertaining... When that place closed I was so sad. Nowadays I can't play these machines in my country, they just don't exist almost anywhere. Thanks for the share, one of these days I'll get one for sure... When I have the money.

Absolutely brilliant! What an amazing machine, thank you for sharing this.

That was....AWESOME! I'm so jealous, nice.

The T-Rex looks so happy when you turn it on for the first time. Just look at it dancing. ^_^ "Thank you daddy! Let's play a game!" 36:00

This really was fascinating to watch, it appealed to both my inner pinball nerd and Jurassic Park fanboy. Thanks for sharing this!

Never been a huge fan of pinball but I remember playing this when I was a kid because JP was my favorite movie. So nostalgic!

When I see the Data East logo, the music from Side Pocket automatically starts to play in my mind. Great times, great games.

I guess people were hard of hearing in '93! What a treasure, great find!

pretty cool! Reminds me of unboxing my first telescope. A Meade LX-90. Just had to sit there and stare at it after first opening. A beautiful machine!

This was easily my favorite pinball cabinet growing up. I was in a Saturday morning bowling league as a kid & would play this in their arcade once a week!

I can't believe this is a real thing. So cool!

I remember unboxing one of these back in '93. Not as exciting back then when the main goal was to get the locks changed and lock bar on it so I could get it out on the route and making money...

Gotta say I'm also impressed by the packaging job. So many bespoke parts to protect the machine.

Thank you for recording this... Pinball machines always get me giddy looking at all the circuitry.

I dont know jack about pinball machines, but when I see a heatsink that old I desperately want to reapply thermal paste.

The 4 corner cardboard boxes you removed at the start, use them to slide it out of the main box =) We used to inport them (Bally/williams) then Data East into New Zealand in the 90's

Bloody hell! That was amazing! I really didn't think it would power up... BAM!

That was great, that took me back to my childhood playing that game. That and Terminator 2 pinball were my favorites.

Awesome video! I couldn't sub fast enough! Thanks for posting this!

Neat. In 93 I was 24. Arcades were going away. Pinball was not my favorite as a kid but as I aged I enjoyed it more...then they were gone.

thats just incredible how complex is its from inside and so on, amazing

gosh i have played this before among others. always loved PB machines. remember the terminator one as well as guns n roses

Damn I wish I could have this beauty. I feel like you guys should look into scanning the artwork and molding all of the parts that fade and break on these machines so they can be reproduced, especially since this machine is basically perfect.

God this was so fun to watch, like going in a time machine and doing it all over again. Great video, thank you for sharing.

I was way into pinball when I was a kid. Each summer my family would camp our way from California back east to visit relatives (1968-1972). Every campground that had a small concession/snack bar usually had a couple of pinball machines, so I would play them all the way across the U.S. and back each summer. Back then they were very basic. It was a dime for a single game and a quarter for three games. There was a mechanical plunger you pushed in to load the next ball and another spring loaded one you pulled to shoot the ball. Many hours of pure fun.

What a nostalgia trip! Amazing to see this brand new machine.

WOW, how on earth did you manage to find a brand new one ? great video, bring back a lot of memories

Super nice video. Pinball is in mint condition 👍🏼👍🏼

Wow! Seeing it working took me right back to 1993, I was running a small computer games shop called "The Games Room 2" in Sutton south London, just over the road was a lazer tag arena called "The Mega Zone" and they had this Jurassic Park pinball game in the arcade in the lobby, and I used to play it regularly, happy memories :)

Great video. Love seeing a piece of history unboxed

Amazing, thank you for sharing with the world

Somewhere for a brief period in the 90's a box factory was making small boxes that said "gun inside"

KILLER FIND!!!! Those sounds take me back

wow this pinball machine kicks ass! I'd love to play on that thing! that dino ate the ball man WOW so cool :D and the music is pumping hard. AWESOME!

Love hearing the train sounds around 6:40-ish

How funny is this, while I am watching this Video my wife changes TV Channel and jurassic Park is Running on TV 😂

WE had a Jurassic Park pinball game in the bar I worked at during college. A good portion of my paycheck went in to it when it was slow working the dayshift. Nostalgia.

Congrats on such a cool find... I'm not a pinball fanatic or an unboxing video fan but watched the whole video - well worth the time and I'm glad it was in such great condition!

It's always interesting to discover forgotten stuff that sat in a corner somewhere for decades... My friend's grandmother and her 2nd husband bought a sit down / cocktail Ms.Pac Man machine sometime in the 1981/82 timeframe. I was only over their house once, probably in the summer of '82, and I thought that it was the coolest shit imaginable that somebody's grandparents had an arcade game in their den!!! And you are friggin kidding me... you can play it without having to put in quarters?!?! [my 8 year old mind melted]. Anyways, my friend's grandma gets a divorce from 2nd husband a year or two later and from what my friend was told... that was the end of the Ms.Pac Man machine... apparently step-grandpa took it with him in the divorce. Turns out grandma had it moved into the storage / laundry room attached to the back of the garage in preparation to sell it, but eventually that must have fell through. At some point, she threw a sheet over it and had old books and christmas decorations and shit stacked on top of it for over 30 years! My friend was over there countless times and never noticed it.... he sent me a picture of it when he discovered it after grandma passed away. He said it powered up and looked playable on the screen, but the speakers were making an awful noise, so he shut if off until somebody qualified could look at it... this all happened a good five or six years ago by now... and I haven't talk to him much recently... but finding this video has inspired me to social media stalk him and find out what happened to it... can't let it be lost again to a dusty corner! "Hey Old Friend... it's been too long! how's the wife and kids? job treating you well? So.... what ever happened to that Ms.Pac Man machine from Dead Grandma's house?"

One of the most complex arcades... the PCB's... big honkin' transformer... and thick wiring harnesses all tidy n'such... just wow.

Wow - what an amazing machine!!!! I´ve played it by myself 25yrs ago....

Jurassic Park is one of my all time favorite movies and this brand new pinball machine is tops. Thanks for sharing this with all of usThe T-Shirts are awesome. Brian, Rome Georgia

Truly amazing how after 25 years later it still looks factory fresh and it plays! 👍

That is impressive and intresting history

Wow, now this is a video worth making. Amazing find. Vintage stuff, love finding stuff like this on youtube.

Amazing find, box and brand new. Thanks for sharing this.

When it starts up.... OH YEAHHH.

It's fitting that it would be a Jurassic Park.

Watch this video was AWSOME. I salute you from Chile. Amazing child memories. Thanks for the video.

Great vid - pleased to see the unveiling ! Good luck with the opening of restaurant bar etc - I''ll have to come by & see you guys one day :-)
