My heart says that I want to support Spooky over Stern, that when it comes to a horrorish themed pin they have the edge, and I think there's a great package there. They're growing and improving with every release, and that's awesome. If you have the money and the space I encourage you to be part of that history, you'll feel good about it I think.

Quoted from T-800:

ACNC has a superior LCD presentation that's for sure.

Ain't that the truth. AC LCD is looking smart and sharp, Iron Maiden LCD is looking pretty lackluster. Alice Cooper's cabinet art is cooler. The translite is better than Iron Maiden's Pro. Not big on the Eddy collage personally. I hope the Premium has a bigger cool Eddie! F— the LE, no way I'm getting that, so I hope the Prem looks best (Sure the LE will be sick, mirrored Eddie backglass?).

AC is probably a real backglass actually. And it looks great, like a cool horror comic come to life, perfect. And it sounds like the game will be more like a comic too, not a 'band pin', you earn AC songs and it has original music too. That's cool. I'm not an Iron Maiden fan, I listened to Killers a lot when I was 13, but that's about it. I got a little tired of the music during the stream, their songs can have a similar vibe. So music variety, and music without lyrics, that's good. Edge Cooper.

But I just can't let go of the fact that I've shot Archer, the original version of Iron Maiden, and the playfield layout is just too good. I dunno if I'm really interested enough to buy, I need to see the Premium, get more details, let the early adopters take the testing hit. But it just shoots so cool, I might cave and sell a game to get it. I can live with the music I think.

Quoted from DrMark12PA:

Can someone explain what makes the Maiden playfield play interesting?

4 flippers and interesting shots, not a boring flow flow flow fan layout like most recent Sterns, where everything just returns to the bottom flippers and you rinse and repeat. It's a game for players, not toy collectors, but that makes sense given that Keith Elwin designed it.

If you haven't seen video of it playing yet I think it will make more sense when you pay attention to the actual shots people are making, and how the ball moves around.
