Highlights

  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Premium Edition is comparable in difficulty to Tron, with brutal gameplay but high replayability
  • TMNT Pro version lacks a diverter/Rafael flyer but remains a complete game without it
  • Guns N' Roses is the next Jersey Jack Pinball release after Wonka
  • TMNT is designed as a brutally difficult game in response to community criticism of Munsters being too easy
  • Guns N' Roses theme is atypical for Jersey Jack due to mature lyrical content and licensing complexity
  • TMNT co-op mode is a major appeal, allowing up to 4 players with 12 balls total instead of 3
  • Eric Meunier designed Pirates of the Caribbean and is designing JJP's next game (likely Guns N' Roses)
  • Jersey Jack is selling off defective playfields as art pieces at ~$300 each
