Nice. It’s a fun game and fits nicely between the Bally Williams games and a modern pin. Very cool game.

I would check the opto inside the house and behind the backboard. I created a video on how to remove the house to get at everything and it’s worth checking those optos in switch test. Something is not registering and this is a common complaint on that game. My opto (behind the backboard) was misaligned out of the box and repeatedly fired until the game shut down. I had the house off my NIB game within 20 mins of unboxing. The house opto is a common problem. It may also be possible that the ball is hopping over the opto beam. Check the optos in switch test first as that is likely the issue.

Lots to upload :)

For me, it is a top 5 game. I really enjoy the path through the game as well as the ability to choose how to proceed thru the map. I also like the adventure aspect of the pin as it puts you on a journey thru the park. It’s a tough game but fair. I owned it pre-pandemic, hit a wall in the gameplay, then sold it. Took a 3 year break and gave it another go. Really loving it. Jaws Prem and JP Pro are my two favorites at the moment. I think JP is a fantastic game.

@@clayhodges7173 I have them all saved and am contemplating uploading them again. Lots of episodes but some great times for sure.

@ That would be awesome Craig! Would love to see those again!

I am really enjoying Jaws and would say it is probably a top 5 game for me. I really like games that put you in the role as the player and jaws doesn’t disappoint. I should be able to play x-men in the next few days so I am not really in a position to comment on it yet. I have had Jaws for a few months and still really like it. Lots of ways to blow it up and lots of choices on how you want to play the game. I don’t regret buying Jaws at all. It’s gonna stay for a while 😁

RUclips will usually allow the audio as long as you don’t monetize a video but some artists don’t revenue share so RUclips cuts the audio. Twitch does it too now. I’ll pull the game music and feed in something else. The callouts should still work.

Some artists won’t let their music be played at all even when you let them have the revenue. I’ll keep the callouts and just splice in free to use music next time. Twitch muted the audio as well and left the mic input. Bummer.

@@HurryUpPinball That makes sense.

@@JackCase thanks for the support and I hope the league play went well.

@@007bondson1 Glad it helped. It’s a great way to keep the shooter lane nice and clean.

@@AJFurypinball that’s a tough one. I do really like both games a lot. I felt like Venom was easier and more friendly than Bond. I liked that I could hop back into Venom at any time and level up my characters. It was more approachable in than Bond. Bond is absolutely loaded with content and got to an amazing place. It can be really mean and will test your patience. With Venom, you can change characters, chase different paths, etc. With Venom, banging out back to back to back combos was a blast. I managed to beat Venom but didn’t get close to beating Bond. When I played well on both games, it definitely felt more rewarding on Bond. I always felt like Venom is a great game to help with your shooting skills. Bond is all about controlling the chaos. If you are looking for a fun shooter that you can play in bursts, Venom is a great choice. If you are looking for a ton of content in a more difficult game, I would recommend Bond. When I played a great game on Bond, it felt amazing and more rewarding than Venom. Hitting the same combos over and over again on Venom can get to be a bit repetitive. Don’t forget, there are a lot of Bonds and Venoms out there so there is nothing stopping you from getting one, playing it for a while, then selling it to get the other. Now is a great time to buy with prices down and as long as you don’t overpay, I think any losses you take if you sell one will be minimal. If you go Venom, I would recommend the premium or LE, with bond, the pro, Prem, and LE were all great. I don’t feel the Bond on a wand added much to the game or the lighted scuba scoop for that matter but the tower ball lock to stage the balls for the multiball is pretty awesome. I still think Bond and Venom are both underrated games. That probably didn’t answer your question but just some things to consider. I would give the edge to Bond. Let me know what you decide. I don’t think you can go wrong with either, just don’t overpay if you are buying used.

I forgot to address the question regarding complimenting the two game you already have. GZ is fun and has a lot of content. Turtles is pretty brutal based on the time I had on it. With those games in mind, I think Venom would be a breath of fresh air. The leveling system is unique and Dwight did an amazing job with it. I can see how they would work it into other games. Since you already have Turtles and that game can be ruthless, Venom may bring a little bit of balance. I likeness Venom to Deadpool, it’s just fun to play. You can also work on leveling up all the characters in the game and the shots change depending on who you pick. I regret not playing through the game with all of them. If you enjoy punishment, get Bond, if you want a little variety, get Venom.

@@HurryUpPinball thanks so much for the advice. Really making me think. So the venom LE would be my friend giving it to me for $7800. The bond Premium NIB for $8300. I was leaning towards bond too as it really has become my favorite game in pinball. That being said my thought process was maybe go venom and when it gets stale like you said flip it for a bond or heck just hopefully buy a bond and hope it doesn’t get stale before then. I remember you were really digging venom and playing the hell out of it. Between the two which game has you hitting the replay button more? I find myself on Godzilla to have a solid to great game and move to turtles…doesn’t have the replay button like turtles…which would you say does that between venom and bond?

@@HurryUpPinball I’m going with the venom LE. You made this an easy decision. Can’t thank you enough. Hope all is well. Look forward to seeing you back on the live streams. I need to get going on a live stream myself one of these days.

@@AJFurypinball I hit replay a lot more on Venom. $7800 for an LE (friend price) is a great deal. I think Venom is a good call. I miss my Venom more than I miss my Bond.

@@doctoroctos I will be back at it soon. I’ve been making a few changes to the streaming rig as well and am excited to get back at it.

@@HurryUpPinball sweet. Sounds like it will be better than ever.

That’s a big jump. Even though it went up, I still think it is worth the money if you plan on streaming consistently. It makes setup so much easier.

I just priced this out, pre tax and shipping at 80/20 was around $546.63, the same parts at Tnutz was around $298.76 pre tax and shipping.

I hope it helps if you decide to do one at some point. It can be hard to find new playfields for some games and it can be a great option.

Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it.

@@HurryUpPinball You SAVED me unspeakable grief today, man; my brand new RUSH Premium had the music clipping/cutting out. Stern told me to re-flash it (I knew it wasn’t the problem), but I did and now they’ve gotta send me a new board. 🫵🤝

@@metelgeer I currently do not have any videos on the crypt door. Mine was slightly open and I messed with it a little. I believe there may be an under playfield adjustment for closing the door a little bit but not much. I couldn’t get mine dialed in but it worked well and the gap was pretty small.

@@pinballhans thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it!

Thanks. I really appreciate the feedback and support.

Glad it was helpful!

@@HurryUpPinball thanks👍

@@richie2116 send me your phone number to my email and we can discuss it. I got your picture.

My email is the hockey one u get

Let me know if you got the picture

Just checking did the picture come through?

Plus tag, title, tax, and shipping. 😆

I usually like to clean the playfield once you start seeing distinct ball trails in the inlanes. This will usually correspond to light smudging on the playfield graphics. You can also run you fingers over the playfield surface and if you see a lot of black residue in your fingertips, it is usually time. Since I go through phases with plain certain games a lot all at once, it’s hard to give a specific timeframe. It really comes down to how often you play it. I can tell you when I put about 300 plays on venom over about a month of playing it got dirty pretty quick and I needed to clean it. If it gets really dirty, then the ball will slow down and the playfield will look pretty grimy.

All are great games. I love Jaws and JP a little more than BM66. Izzy Pinball may not agree with me but I am sticking by to that one 😂

@@HurryUpPinballI’m with you. Plus my kids just aren’t into Batman, won’t play it

Super tough call for me at the moment. I really like both. JP code is essentially complete with code and Jaws has more to go before 1.0 code. I have the same amount of fun playing both at the moment. I honestly can’t decide between the two so my recommendation is to get both 😂 I think Jaws has the potential to be better than JP depending on what happens with the code.

@@HurryUpPinball okk but I asked in comparison to godzilla prem not jurassic park... 😂😂

Thanks for that info about the last digit. Never knew that. I really feel like they both play about the same but I do like the cosmetic upgrades on the CE over the standard. Both games were fast and brutal. I wanted some more time with this one and was able to grab it locally so I jumped on it.

Agree, great game. I’m looking to add one back to the collection, wish I lived closer, as I know it’ll sell quick.

Thanks for the feedback. I had a hard time figuring some things out so I thought I would do my best to help others with common problems. Pins aren’t that scary once you get used to certain things. Glad to see the hobby continue to grow and hope to help that any way I can.

Paul Rudd is awesome. I really enjoy streaming and chatting with everyone. Pinball is my happy space so why get angry….unless the game is being unfair right 😂 I just remembered my daughter had on the Kaua’i shirt. We were there last summer - was her first time and she loved it.

😂

I checked the stern manual and there is no part number for the nylon plunger. Here is a link to pinball life and they have a few stern plungers available. You may need to measure the length to determine which one is correct. It’s a bummer they don’t include a part number for the plunger in the schematics. www.pinballlife.com/bell-armatures-plungers-and-vuks.html?CatListingOffset=0&Offset=0&Per_Page=20&Sort_By=name_asc

Good times for sure.

Haha! Do it!
