Quoted from Tuna_Delight:

With the continued code improvements on these two games, I'm reconsidering them for potential purchase.
I like the colorful artwork, nostalgic appeal (for me), and Lyman Sheets code potential of BM66. SW currently seems to have better code/deeper gameplay and I dig the hyperdrive feature!
Decisions, decisions ...
What say ye: which ONE would you buy and why???

I got a SW premium from a show for a great price about 5 weeks ago and just recently picked up a BM66 premium. Both are extremely different playing games. Both have really unique code that has unique features to the game. BM66 is a much longer ball time game and has better art and theme integration. SW is fast and brutal and has that one more play feel more then BM66 does. Either would be a pretty unique addition to a lineup and both are fun despite what a vocal group of pinsiders like to claim.

As both are my 2 newest games both are getting all of my play right now. SW is my favorite of the 2 just because it makes me want to keep playing it and the code is so unique. BM66 is really good but after a good game I need a break from it.

Quoted from J85M:

Well in that case, I am a huge Star Wars and Batman 66 fan so both themes appeal to me, but my vote goes to BM66 because of the way Lyman is coding the game, not only are the rules shaping up to be genuinely unique but the theme integration is already the best of any licenced pin I have played/owned, like with any pin Lyman is personally invested in there is going to be magic made.

There's definitely some pretty cool unique things in the BM66 code, but it is really the code bones of MB with some cool stuff added. It does have great theme integration but to me SW code it much more unique. There's currently nothing else like SW code wise while BM66 feels like more of an updated and strengthened throw back. That's not a slight on BM66 at all either, it is really shaping up in the code department and turning into a really good game.
