I own TSPP, and it's fun; but if my 8 year old son didn't like the theme so much; I would get rid of it.
I used to think that the B/W snobs were just that; snobby about the 90's B/W titles....However, it's undeniable; the 90 B/W's just have that rock solid feeling of button to flipper, I can't explain it, but it is magical; the remakes can't replicate it either IMO.
