Add in American Pinball with CGC and you've got a good list

And it's in my possession now and may never leave. No issues with quality in any manner.

I can obviously read. A correct lame response would have been..."Can you not comprehend?"....

You already have an original AFM don't you? Were you thinking of trading it in or something?

I always hate commenting on these remake vs original threads ... I find the remakes to be outstanding and don't want to seem like I'm nitpicking.

I did find the flippers to feel a bit different. Does AFMr use the Williams optical flipper boards or does it use leaf switches? If they're using leaf switches, that's more than likely the difference. The optical flipper switches seem to have a bit more mechanical resistance. You could probably get the exact same effect using slightly stronger springs with the flipper buttons.

Also, someone mentioned dialing the flipper power back ... I agree 100%. AFMr is a lot easier with flippers set to full power. Is there a tournament setting for the flippers on AFMr?

Outside of that difference, the games are identical. The people that bitch about the remake probably got pissed that their original came down in price and are taking it out on AFMr fans.

AFMR uses optos.

LTG : )

I own an original AFM bought around 2004. To be fair, everyone's AFM feels different compared to mine.

I've played 3 or 4 different AFMr's. I didn't think the new ones felt "cheap", per se, but every one I've played seemed to play different compared to the many Bally ones I've played. Then again, the Ballys are all 20+ year old games.

I've also played a few HEP AFM restorations. Not fair to really compare those the unrestored originals, even if the originals have been well-maintained.

The aesthetics, lights and displays of the AFMrs are pretty amazing, but nothing has inspired me to sell mine for a remake.

In summary- I feel it is not really comparing the same things, other than the fact that they both say "AFM"
