Quoted from Shapeshifter:Really want a BM66 but don't like the fact that the premium is a pro in disguise, but priced as a premium.
Great game though.
I totally get where this feeling comes from, however BM66 Premium is not a Pro I’ll explain that below but if we are comparing GOTG to BM66, you have to compare Premium to Premium.
GOTG Pro
- Groot, Orb Drop Target, Rocket Kickback and Scoop
GOTG Prem
- Groot, Orb Drop, Rocket, Kickback, Scoop and Spinners
BM66 Prem
- Turntable with 3 functional sides this was a turd of a mech at release I am an LE owner and I will openly admit that, hell the whole game was a turd at release! However now Lyman has been churning out code the turntable is fantastic, each side has dedicated targets, a magnetic spinner with a sweet through shot to the left orbit, interactive lcd.
- One of the turntable areas (LCD) doubles up as physical ball lock when it’s facing away and technically inactive from the player while the Batcave area of the turntable is active.
- There is also a playfield magnet that I would call a part of the turntable as it is activate during specific turntable shots and modes.
- Spinners, saucer, VUK,
- Oh and did I mention the Crane? Which is one of the most fun toys in pinball, once Lyman brings over the more complex coding from BDK hopefully with some new coding it’s only going to get better, but it’s super fun to shoot the swinging pinball hanging off the crane.
There is a lot packed into BM66, based on playfield features listed, it isn’t really fair to say that BM66 Prem is a Pro (BM66 has spinners these are a Premium feature if we are comparing strictly to GOTG) the game is pretty packed and with Lyman on code you know every aspect of the playfield is going to get utilised. Both games are drop dead gorgeous although I would give the edge to BM66 in the art department.
