"The Explorer Car toy on the playfield is broken and stuck in position. Which means you cant shoot the truck to advance T-Rex. You also cant spell T-R-E-X and feed the T-Rex to begin a T-Rex event. There's also no TRex multiball as a result, a real shame as the game is pretty much broken as a result." Jurassic Park (Premium) (Stern, 2019)
"Machine needs some maintenance, not really playable. Almost every game the ball will get stuck in the mixer or in the cave and you have to tilt the machine to get the ball out. " Dr. Dude (Bally, 1990)

"It has happened(!) the dearest of them all is back in a London hot spot. Jeez, these buttons are so sensitive(!), please all, let's respect it and do not clap in them too strong (even when we're losing fast), so the machine can remain in a good shape for longer. We're kind of lucky having a single copy in a region, and it, really, takes time for an expenditure like this to balance to zero, which is yet additionally hindered by cost of repairs during such extensive period. " Godzilla (Pro) (Stern, 2021)
"Energy of the Street Fighter is yet unrestored, and one have had a large number of challenging battles thus far. The location is good for a family tour with the youngest, so one can spend a lot of time playing on a, relatively, good machine and rare title, without causing too much of damage to the buttons and their flippers; for those more advanced users, the way flippers work won't allow for anything which could resembled a precise shot strategy. Let's all hope, the next season, energy of Chun-Li, Guile, Blanka, Bison, Vega and others will be as full as with the new game. Again, it's worth stressing - one pound brings three credits." Street Fighter II (Gottlieb, 1993)
"Bamm-Bamm and Pebbles, as usual, frolick with Dino and Hoppy in a bedrock garden in the vicinity of Ship Street. The bar is open till late and filled out with a mass of interesting people. Bowling never was easy, similarly, on this table not every strike goes smoothly. On the other hand, if you're there with family and children, the place is worth a visit during afternoon hours for a total beginners alike, to smash these buttons as much necessary; at least as for now. What noticeable is that with a single pound, the machine will give three credits." The Flintstones (Williams, 1994)
"There are Avengers (Infinity Quest) (PRo), but with this Arcades in the City centre, once there is any defect other than poorly working bouncing ball flipper(s), "it will take ages" to repair, and even this isn't guaranteed. For instance, AirLock never drops on time, no chance to 'shoot the arrow target' - it's 8months now. Last time I (normally) entered, a bolt from the spinning wheel (which is kinda main part of the game, especially for youth) got detached from the rotating counterpart. Service of the burnt/weak flippers can be count in weeks, and during this time the machines remain switched on, and likely to be assured 'they work fine' if a question asked. I'll never forget, by the way, these total wrecks of pinball machines their neighbours Vegas gave to public to play for such a long period before they came up with Metallica. Then, regarding the Avengers' host, I would not complain, but there is this one security who somehow on personal level decided always upset me having an occasion, and if I tried to get inside nine/ten times, one sent me away five times. And it wouldn't be so ugly itself, but the way it's conducted let me feel only like trash, whereas on every such decision reacted calmly. Happens only with one of them, not only late after travel, as I used to work a few streets away. Only because of that became distasted to this location/bored of sent back and declared do not attempt to enter there for a year now, so one security can, finally feel fulfiled."

"Judge Dredd in Stoke Newington stands, firmly, at the floor of the Loading Bar, together with some other arcade machines, like for instance CrazyTaxi, StreetFighterII, some shooters, racing, and a multi choice arcade cabinet.
All of the arcade equipment, including yet diverse consoles, is settled in a niche room of the bar, detached from a board games zone and dinning tables area. In fact, the space is cozy, and that is easy to feel.
First thing coming to mind looking at the Judge itself is that the table is well looked-after. A reflecting light playfield causes a nice effect of gleam, which after a moment of 'wow' and couple of gamez, will prompt most of the pinheads to 'insert' two more pounds for additional three gamez.
A condition of the table is, also, +Good; fields are working correctly, there is a large variety of modes, which 'Can Be Completed'. One thing I would grumble a little is strength of flippers; not that they are too weak, as with some practice three 'locks' in a row are achievable; but aren't too strong for a
a bit of thrill in one of those key moments, maybe adjusting stepness a little for easier could help a little. On the other hand, not only lighting there is satisfactory, but also Replay Settings are 'within a reach', so even sometimes one playing got to go out soon, and can afford oneself, pleasantly - which is worth of stressing - pleasantly, for the SuperGame, costing normally two credits, where every try starts with a multiball." Judge Dredd (Bally, 1993)
"The Junk Yard does not play/work well, the left flipper button is one of those 'always-pressed-alike, and even if the flipper itself works fine, the machine, in general, acts (just) dumb; thus, if you ever played, or about to play this title - be not under the illusion that you encountered the real Junk Yard. " Junk Yard (Williams, 1996)
"For your freaken information, 'factory settings' are for the machines owners who after years of use, know the table inside out, and playing any lower level of difficulty would be just boring. Also, setting Matches percentage to 0%, sucks. " Jurassic Park (Pro) (Stern, 2019)
"You should push these all machines to these 'ultra-pro-pinball-wizard-experts' who make Replay, on factory settings' everytime they play - and stuff your spaces with pinballs from Williams, Bally, Midway, (preferably Gottlieb too) accessible to purchase in very good condition and service provided and start doing money on it, otherwise - as usual - there will be no one using them, and electricity misused; eventually, this modern tables will be dilapidated by some angry band of upset customers ain't skilful enough that evening to gain anything at anyone of them, which is a pity as this is expensive equipment." Jurassic Park (Pro) (Stern, 2019)
"Definitively, a very impressive Machine; not only the way one looks, especially the massive pyramid placed on the main point, but artwork, as well; and the way it plays is quite specific, too. It was not often easy to complete 'Strobing Lights', thus without knowing strength of original flippers am not able to say precisely about the condition of the table, but other than that, everything works perfect." Stargate (Gottlieb, 1995)
