I am looking at a huo mm is it worth the $. I heard its like lotr is this true?Is it better then lotr. I have 2 other ballys and love them cirqus voltaire and sttng.
MM is one hell of a game, but I wouldn't buy one now, even if I had the money. Had you asked me back in 1999 or earlier, yes definately.
The game is way too expensive for the bang, you can get, for the same buck. For one MM, you can get a handful of triple AAA games (even more, for B or C-list titles).
LOTR does play very similar to MM, and may be the appeal. Doesn't hurt that LOTR is way cheaper than MM.
MM is better thought out design-wise. LOTR's "Paths of the Dead" is universally acknowledged as flawed-design. Ultimately, it falls onto player preference, game-play wise. MM also looks considerably better than LOTR art-wise. I wish Stern would one day stop with the godamn Photoshop already, in order to save a buck. 
Investment-wise opinion for MM is debatable, unless you got one last century for a bargain of a price, and were planning to sell yours eventually.
Pinball collection-wise, it isn't considered a good one, with the amount of good games you can get for the same money for 1 MM machine. Opinions with large wallets may vary. 
Liked MM a lot,Great game but too costly for me.Actually I like LOTR even better!
I'm a tightwad...$750 is the max I can or will pay for a single pin. I would prefer 2 EM pins for that price too. After that, a lot of other bling starts making itself known...like Drake R8A shortwave radio...one day...
I have the chose of mm or monster bash cant chose.
STTNG is Williams not Bally 
If you ask me I would buy MM way before Monster Bash. If the money is not an issue. Its funny, lotsa things to do, nice sounds....all in one!
I would definatly go with MM over Monster bash if the money is right!
I am thinking of trading my lotr le for a huo mm. I am not getting into lotr. I like the fast flow games ,spiderman, and cv are my fav games. just can not get into lotr for some reason. Im just dont know if mm will keep me intrested for awhile. I spent alot on lotr le and i rather play cv,spiderman sttng first.
how much more $ will you have to throw on top of the LOTR to get the MM? You may want to get a Theater of magic if you like flowing fast games. for the price of a normal MM you could get 2-3 top games. Do you have an attack from mars yet, also was one of my favorites. I'd say MM is more like AFM then LOTR. Dont get me wrong if the price is right I'd go for the MM if its not Id look for two games like AFM and ToM or equivalents.
2k and lotr .the mm has 450 plays on it. It looks new.I only have room for 1 more pin. I have 6 already,gnr,spiderman,sttng,cv,taf,lotr le, I am not worried about the the $ to much just want a collection of pins I can hold onto for awhile.
Take the MM...simple as that
I'd take MM over LOTR all day long. If you have the money just do it..I want a LOTR though as well, it's nice to have different style pins to play..
Bah, I really like Medieval Madness but it's NOT worth the asking price in my honest opinion. It's probably a top 10 game for me, but it's not something I'd buy if I had that to spend on pinball right now. For the price of one of these, I could buy:
- Simpsons Pinball Party/Lord of the Rings/Spider-Man
- Twilight Zone/Addams Family/Indiana Jones/Attack From Mars
- 2 (maybe 3) B DMD list games, such as Bride of Pinbot, Whirlwind, Earthshaker, Bram Stoker's Dracula, or Jurassic Park.
So essentially I could get one MM or 2 AAA games and 2-3 B list games. That budget could get even more stretched if I wanted to go with 1 AAA game or instead of the B-list DMDs I went with a handful of earlier SS games.
Also, with the game playing similarly to Spider-Man and Attack From Mars, either one of those would be a great option.
If you have the cash and the room for only one pin, go for it!!!- your not going to find to many HUO MM. One was on ebay going to 11k+ you will be able to pick up a LOTR anytime if you ever want it back. And if you need the cash someday, you should be able to unload that for a decent penny to a hardcore collector.
Yeah, that's true. It's not hard to get your money back on that game if you want back out of it.
I wish I was rich like you all. I guess I should not complain since I did buy the CV (and yes I did pay him off now). It's the only machine I keep in my bedroom for myself. MM is a great machine but I still like waiting for bargains and probably wouldn't pay that price.
BD, "Edit Details" isn't working for me in Firefox or IE upon attempting click in the "Current Collection" manager.
If I click on the button using IE it says "Error on Page". Doesn't do or say anything when using Firefox.
Edit: Thanks .. I will notify Robin and not hijack this thread with that topic but I needed another tester.
If you can afford it get it. It is on of my favorite pins. I planned on owning it when I first got into pins, but then I noticed the asking price. If nothing else atleast you could have bragging rights.
Hope I'm not making a mistake getting rid lotr for mm.
"I wish I was rich like you all. I guess I should not complain since I did buy the CV (and yes I did pay him off now). It's the only machine I keep in my bedroom for myself."
That is okay BD. I am a lot like you for pins. If I am fortunate enough to get a TZ then it will most likely be my only clear A pin and I probably will want it in my bedroom as well!
You guys have them in the bedroom, that's awesome. lol If you don't care about the money tatman9999, can't you just buy the MM and make room for another machine? Knock a wall out of the game room? Or hell put one in the bedroom! I mean Medieval Madness in the bedroom sounds kinda cool.
It is a gun machine tatman, but so is your lotr le, have a beer and think it over.
I world love to just add another pin put no room. I have cv,spiderman,taf,sttng ,gnr,lotr le,golden tee 2009,silver strike bowling,buck hunter pro,mame,sit down fast and furius toko drift,pool table,no room. I dont want to get rid of any thing else.cant knock walls down home theater in the way
Wow! Tatman sounds like an impressive arcade you have! LOTR is a great game,I hope you think about it,MM is great too More for collecters than hobbyest Like me. Good luck
I want it to play it(for fun) not to just collect .
Well it has some humor in the game - which doesnt look like any of your other pins have.
(maybe CV?)
That might be something to consider.
I said screw it I just got home got the mm huo and he had all the mod to go with it uninstalled. I kept the lotr. just running out of room have a moster bash coming next week. have no idea where it is going. will post pic later.
Wow! That is amazing! You are indeed very lucky that you can afford all the top line pinball machines such as MM, LOTR, and MB! I hope you appreciate them as many of us will never see one of these machines, let alone own one.
Congratulations!
Nice Job - where are you located, that all these great pins keep popping up? As soon as anything even halfway decent comes up here its gone. Although if I had a bit more cash I think I could score some good pins from a few local collectors here, but not a HUO MM thats sweet!!
I am in plianfield IL. 30 miles west of Chicago.
ok let us know when the party is - were all invited right? Let us know when the MM is up and running - looks like you have some work ahead of you installing all the mods
How much did MM cost?
8k. Little much but I have always wanted one. Hard to find a nice one. Huo 450 plays on it.can't wAit to get it set up.I have only played mm 5 times. It is such a nice looking game. Your all welcome to come play it or any of my other games.
$8K is a real good price for any MM, esp an HUO in that condition. I would buy it at that price. Even if the wife said no. Assuming I ever found one around here, which I doubt. Congrats.
I think its a god price for HUO. Congrats to you. And if i'm ever in usa i will come and visit
NICE!!!
Get those pics rolling in tatman, that is going to be one impressive lineup.
Beautiful! Nice Spiderman too!
Wow lucky guy, MM is an awesome game. I need to fall into some money and get one myself...
Good luck with it, looks great
Damn it looks really good - must get one for myself someday
