Cactus Canyon is the only one of the 4 remakes that the flippers feel authentic to the bally/Williams. Not a negative to the others but hey they just feel real good on CCR!

I've played them all. The remake of AFM blows me away. It's like a completely different game versus the original. I mean, they all feel the way, but AFM is worlds better imo.

All are solid builds. CGC can makea quality product.

I currently have 3 of the 4 - Moved AFM as it's very similar to MM in terms of shots, even though gameplay isn't.
That was still a hard choice but when you only have so much space you need to move things on when you get tired of them.

Anyways, CGC has steadily improved all aspects of their games over time. MM didn't have the extra things like larger color screens, speakers, etc but they started to upgrade that starting with AFM (and also did the Royal which upgraded much). Once MB hit they included dynamic RGB lighting in places including the scoops, better mylar placements etc.
With CC it's got everything MB does but also has excellent "cliffy-like" protectors just about everywhere you could want them.

Every one of their games is built rather well, probably the best out of all manufacturers - with screened playfields done like they used to for the most part. What you get for the price is unparalleled in my opinion but I love the 90s BW era pins so I'm biased.

With CCr , I can't wait for them to add a 3rd code option - the game is going to be really special once that's released.

TLDR - They are all great, it's going to come down to what game you like playing the best.

I hope you're right. It is hard for me to judge because I haven't played CCR yet and buyers say this on every game.

All four CGC remakes are now ranked in the top 6, which I think is spot on. I got into the hobby as COVID was starting to shut things down. I then bought AFMR into the fold, have played MBR and CCRSE and am patiently waiting for my CCR LE.

I think these four remakes are fantastic so for me it comes down to interesting shots, flow, and theme. I voted for MMR because I love the castle lock shot, damsel shot, and those trolls!

AFMR for me is a close second. I’m not the biggest fan of the jamming monsters, and I can’t wait to spend more time with CCR. I love the Wild West/Train/Mining theme and I hope the shots and flow are there as well.

I’ve played 3 AFMr’s and many OG’s. I’ve always felt this title feels the most different compared between original and CGC remake. There’s like zero backhandable shots on the remake. I could always make something on the original.

Having said that, I did like MMr and MBr but was of course hesitant when CCr came out. But as TeamUp said above, I played a CCr right out of the box at a friend’s house and it felt super close to the original, to the point I immediately bought one days later. It’s such a good game and will only get better/deeper when the new code drops. My $0.02.

I’ve been playing my Cactus Canyon SE all week and I gotta day, DAMN it’s awesome.
