Quoted from markp99:For those with both, the machines seem so similar in layout and call-outs for my tiny collection, but I see so many people with BOTH, makes me wonder. Do you you guys give both machines similar amounts of play?
Our local arcade (now closed) had a tired original MM which I played a ton and enjoyed. The goofy call-outs on MMr and AFMr are part if the attraction for me.
Maybe I'll hold out for MBr (please), another fun machine with enough variation from SFMr and MMr. .
I don't think that similar layouts equates to similar games. Afm and Metallica have a lot of layout similarities, but are different enough to both stay interesting. I would comfortably have afm, mm, and Metallica as my only 3 pins.
