anyone saying to keep the remake is just plain wrong or defending the fact they own a remake.

A nice original is far better in all categories (plays better, easier to maintain and more robust, better lights and options for you to light it how you want, better pf printing, better flipper feel). It is not even a debate. sorry, not sorry.

MMr is great for what it is > brought down the price to something more people could then experience and a new classic. However, it was the first game out the door by CGC and they have made many refinements with the next 2 from what they learned. If they do another run of MMr with the new refinements and color big dots then this may be worth debate in the future.

not even close TBT.

IMO it has to do with the strength and composition of the original materials. Metals were made harder, the wood is harder, etc... This is a physical machine where we are translating a electromagnetic pulse through wire wound coils that transfer energy through those original more durable parts and pf to smack that ball around.

The remake is an emulation in all regards and plays quite a bit different. Between the emulated software, softer metals, and softer wood, the physical game just is not the same. Play a nice restored original and a remake that have been tuned in by the same tech and do it side by side. Everyone will see and fee the difference.

not arguing, just a pinball forum

100% Everyone is entitled to their opinion (even if it is wrong )

Seems many people that own a remake are very defensive over this. The reality is that the majority of people that have played both, select the original as much better playing.

Interesting to me is that afm remakes are improved and MBr even more. Whatever the issue was with MMr, they seem to have figured something out.

That is cool. I was just pointing out you are in the minority of that opinion. You are completely right to that opinion. Just that most people notice a clear difference and favor the original.
