Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.

The question is: would you still go by that order or buy AFM first if it was to be done again (i dont even know if you got MB first actually



Yep. I got AFM first, but then again I wanted MB more than MM and I ended up with it before MB.

A list games in decent shape you have to buy when they are available. Not when your ready.

Quoted from Bally Boy
AFM         or      Stern SPIDERMAN
Now what do you guys say?


AFM as a collector and player.

Let's change the direction of this thread....

AFM         or      Stern SPIDERMAN

Now what do you guys say?


Spiderman and that's before playing the new 2.0 roms. AFM is a great game, but it's not very deep. I really enjoyed it when I had it, but, for me, it got old after awhile. Spiderman seems to have more depth with similar layout and feel.

I've played both games extensively and studied the ruleset and I would say AFM over MB.  AFM is a much more dynamic and fast game than MB with better and more challenging set of rules.  It's definitely harder.
MB is not bad, probably a top 15 game for me, but AFM is a top 5.  For what it's worth, most pinball ranking sites usually have AFM ranked 2nd to 4rth overall....
As for Spiderman, it does seem like a fun game but don't have enough time on it and haven't taken a deep dive on the ruleset yet to form an opinion.

Gotta agree with Enzo on this one.

Seriously. MB is a fun game with great art, quotes, animation and music and very popular with friends. However, if you are a very good player then it is not as challenging as the others. However, you can't beat it for theme in my mind. Luckily I'm so-so in the skill level so I can thoroughly enjoy my MB without thinking it's too easy  

AFM has also got theme. voice and art with cool toys. It is a very fast game and I love mine after finally finishing the restoration (well, except for the cab touch-ups)

For Spiderman, I'd go for the BSM or add the shaker to a red as it definitely adds to the overall enjoyment. I never really put much stock in people who say games are re-dos of others but I've got to say that I really find AFM and BSM almost identical in feel. The funny thing is that I actually will go to my BSM more than my AFM due to gameplay but I still would take AFM for the overall package first if that makes sense? If and when I become a better player then overall package may lose importance to pure gameplay and rules etc.

Can you still get a BSM NIB?   What was the original price difference?   Is it still around $5000?

Great looking game with the mirrored backglass, chrome and black.   Very nice looking - and only 500 made - and Stern promises not to make more

From what I've played of Spiderman, it wouldn't be one I'd buy, Stern has better titles. MB & AFM are both awesome pins.


In the house:
Gottlieb Haunted House
Williams Black Knight

Gone:
Williams Pinbot
Williams White Water
Data East Jurassic Park
Stern Big Game
Gottlieb Force II
Williams Laser Cue
and some others ....

Still available at Starburst. Still close to $5K in price.
