I like to understand Metallica for example it's layout is similar to what pin and it's rules are similar to what pin?
I was thinking 2 flippers 2 ramps with center toy that reminded of IM?

Quoted from barakandl:ever play a classic bally with drop targets setup in a line?
Not that I can recall, so it's like any game that has inline drop targets?

Playing Metallica is similar to having fond childhood memories, while eating really good food at a small Mexican restaurant, and rocking out to a band you didn't think you liked. Does that make any sense?
Quoted from phishrace:AFM in both layout and rules.
Rules-wise, MET is like AFM on steroids.
That sounds great!
I have both met and IM. The layouts are pretty much the same but they don't play or feel the same at all. Ramps same. Graveyard drops are same spot as war machine. Snake/captive ball is whiplash. Center bash toy and 2 orbits. Pop bumpers same area. I also have a spider man that I seem too be playing a lot more than Metallica. Seems to be along the same lines of decent length games and good but not super deep rules.
Avatar and IM. In a row they are remarkably similar. They don't really play the same, though.
Yes Metallica is very similar to IM in layout with ramps. I actually am liking and playing Metallica Pro more than IM lately. I love IM but it does get repetitive with Monger popping up and brutal outlanes. Metallica has Sparky on top of playfield allowing for more objectives and less drains than with Monger up front. I am not trying to get into a Metallica v.s. IM discussion-just my opinion. I go through cycles with what games I play the most and right now, it happens to be Barb Wire
Okay, if you really need like eight threads about metallica to make up your mind, can I go out on a limb and say that I don't think that you REALLY want to buy it.
You've been given way more than enough information to make a decision. Either find some way to go play one, or SH-- OR GET OFF THE POT ALREADY! =P
Quoted from RobT:I own all three. I love MET, but in no remote way has it made me lose interest in either IM or AFM!
I have an attention span deficit issue : )

Quoted from Jackontherocks:Upgraded version of TFTC by Borg!
I prefer TFTC !
Quoted from hammer31:Even with the original code.
I don't know why you wouldn't upgrade to 1.51?
Metallica is like no other game.
BTW, how is it like AFM? It has a left and right orbit? Metallica's inline targets are in place of AFM left ramp. Metallica's left ramp is where the lock scoop is on AFM. Sparky feels completely different than the saucer. The hammer and snake = the scoop? The right ramp on AFM feels nothing like the right ramp on Metallica. There's no scoop short right side of AFM. Sorry, I'm not feeling it.
Well, they're both fan layouts with a main central bash toy and they're both great games. That's a start at least.
Quoted from rai:How about the rules?
Do Yourself a favor....Go buy it Now !

Looking at your collection, I would also suggest that you'll really enjoy Metallica.
I'm not a big fan of the music (half the songs are ok, the others I tolerate), but my wife and I are loving the pin.
Rules are great. Lots to shoot for all the time so you aim for your fav shots or build to multiballs.
Mini-wizard modes (Crank It Up) are fun. 4 different ones to pick, all with different rules.
Love it!

Yeah plus all the little less noticable stuff like the combo jackpots that you can collect , adding balls during multiball , stuff like that make it much cooler as well, rules are great .
