Bally, 1995Quoted from Pimp77:Avengers didn't "lose value" because of its "ranking". It "lost value" because of its gameplay and longevity. It got boring...rather quickly I might add. Metallica is keeping interest because it's fun.
Yep, Avengers is a huge turd. I owned it, sold it, lost over a grand, worst pin I have ever bought. Metallica Prem/Le on the other hand, is AWESOME. 2 different ends of the spectrum as far as Sterns go IMO.

I'm getting the impression that cscmtp doesn't care for Avengers, but I'm not clear on why I'm getting that vibe...

I understand its a huge turd.
Quoted from RobT:You get more than that. The gold rom randomly hands out free points (up to 20 million!) that you don't get on the standard version when you hit the chair scoop.
Does it? That's weak...
Quoted from RonB:Perfectly said! When you feel that way, time to sell.
I just played my Met with the thought of this thread fresh on my mind, I wanted to see if I was over-looking the bash-this/bash-that, chopping wood etc. feel to it. I don't see it that way, I enjoy playing it and try different strategies almost every time to mix things up. Sometimes I just play it for the fun of playing it.
I think a lot of people worry too much about points and what's needed to achieve a high score ("I must hit the snake,then the ramp,then Sparky" etc.), if that's all you're focused on I believe it takes some of the fun away (for a home game). That's when it's repetitive.
I'd also like to mention I play my game in a dark room, sound up with an external sub, under-cab and speaker lights, creeping-death art & lighting added, etc. for a much better game immersion. Of course if I didn't like any of the music or the theme, it wouldn't help.
I find most games to be repetitive after a while, doesn't matter what title it is. That's when it goes up for sale!
Exactly how I play it. Mine is huo, but my buddies is on route.,totally different experience.
