Remake - 19 years newer. Stereo. Shaker motor integrated into the castle explosion. Different color DMD if you add the update than the Colordmd.com one for the original. LCD instead of DMD, you can set the dots to eight different colors.
Same company made the cabinets and playfields for both. Same mechanical assemblies. Different board sets.
Original - you can have the swear ROM, one F**k in there instead of bleeped out.
Better is in the eyes of the beholder. Some people like one or the other. Some people like both.
LTG : )
Disclaimer : I do tech support for the remake, just to let you know.
