I'm trading my GnR plus cash for one of these pins. I love them all, but I've never owned them or been able to play them extensively, but I have spent a few hours with each.

Which one would you get?

#2 10 years ago

They are all basically the same game. MB has the widest appeal but is by far the easiest. AFM is a great game but you have to like the open PF and the hit saucer, rinse and repeat aspect of gameplay. SM has it all, looks, gameplay, and a deep ruleset, but it is still a Stern and not a classic Williams game. You cannot go wrong with any of them but I would go MB first and if you tire of it, selling is easy.

I should note that I own all three games and MB gets the most play by far. SM and AFM about the same. Third flipper on SM adds to gameplay. None of them will be leaving the collection any time soon.

Are they all in similar condition? And are you adding varying amounts of money depending on which game you choose? My answer might change depending on what that situation is. They are all great games though.

The Spiderman is mint HUO with Back Alley Mods. MB is 9/10. ATM 9/10.

SM or AFM.... I have both. Would probably sell AFM before selling SM...

SM and AFM are both excellent. Have them both and would not want to part with either!

#8 10 years ago

AFM just a humble opinion. Love the open playfield.

#9 10 years ago

I have all three. I vote MB then SM, then AFM. And I personally don't consider them the same game at all, they all play very different than each other, but all are awesome.

It's a tough call. I would probably go with the SM but it depends on how much money you are adding. That should be the least expensive option. Not that I don't think the others are great games, but I think you would get the most fun for your money from SM.
