No Fooling: Jurassic Park Arcade Unboxing arcadehero

A month ago we received word that Raw Thrills’ latest arcade game Jurassic Park Arcade was beginning to ship out to distributors so that arcade venues could begin carrying the game. That said, how many shipped out and where was unknown and I only have been able to verify a couple of distributors getting the games in last week. At my own arcade venue, I work with an operator on a couple of games and he was grabbing the game to swap it out with the Transformers: Human Alliance. While we were told that the game would be arriving today, now they are saying that it will most likely be showing up this Friday thanks to shipping delays.

As far as unboxing stuff goes, I find it more interesting with arcade machines since there is always some sort of installation process to go with it. For previous unboxing posts on AH: Star Trek Premium Pinball; Allied Tank Attack; Transformers: Human Alliance; BATMAN; ReRave; Pac-Man Battle Royale; Dariusburst Another Chronicle; Friction (kit); & Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition (kit)

I still plan on doing an unboxing video for Jurassic Park on Youtube but in the meantime I was sent some pictures of a complete unboxing experience by Ralph Tribl of America’s Incredible Pizza Co. in St. Louis, MO. My thanks to him for the media and instructions below, sounds like it takes about 30 min or so to put all together

UPDATE:

Here is the unboxing video I spoke of. It took much longer than 30 min to do (was closer to 1 1/2 hours) with two people but I distilled that down to less than 5 minutes here 😉
