Which should I get now considering gameplay, availability and value?
I'll most likely get all three eventually.

Quoted from whthrs166:If I were you i would wait for a CC remake
No such thing as CC remake and never will happen...
Quoted from whthrs166:CC is not completed and the game play is not what it should be.
You've never heard of CCC?
Quoted from AJB4:MB -by far
prettiest
best gameplay
Great call outs with excellent humor
Good music
Theme everyone loves
I have had all 3 - MM is gone, CC is up for sale
MB is NEVER leaving
As an owner of many classic Bally/Wiliams game for many years this is pretty in line. Unless you are so good you get board defeating games MB is an all around crowd pleaser. But MM is close behind since people love the Monty Python and the Holy Grail theme.
I personally like the MB theme better. I wish they would do a remake and sell it at a Pro price. I know, I'm pipe dreamin.

Afm sld be added to your list as its the best for the money but u allready have it. Cc is ok but unless u can get ccc for around 9k (not likely) id look at getting a restored mb or mm since they are cheaper and offer better gameplay imo. Now between a original mm and mb...... for you and your collection id go mb bc its just plain fun with great theme and varies enough in rules and layout from afm ,where's mm is basically afm with different theme and bash toy......
Quoted from PiperPinball:I have all 3. CCC is one of them. Of the 3, MM is my favorite then MB and CCC last.
Modding MB now actually....and adding a Pinsound card to it!
Id love to hear this when your done......also love to see more pics of the mods your doing.
For me:
MB is brutal fast and not so easy if setup right.
CCC with the continued Software is a lot fun and a game i don't want to miss. Good flow and lots of action.
MM is an alltime classic but i don't like the theme. Nice flow and the castle toy...
So i think you schould play the games and then made a decision.
MM by a mile! MB is kinda fun, but WOW does it grate on me now. Have you played it before? I thought it was humorous the first one, maybe two times I played it. I absolutely cannot imagine it in home use. The theme is cool, but the cheesy not funny lines get old. MM isn't laugh out loud funny either (I hate Monty Python), but for some reason MM feels less like it's trying to be funny, which is why MB is rough.
Most people feel MM and AFM have the same-ish rules (although I feel like the games have a completely different game feel) and MB is sort of the same rinse and repeat of those two, but in my opinion, not nearly as good as either. MB has a cool theme and toys, with the same rules as some other games, and audio that really wears thin. I'd rank them as below.
CC is whatever. It could have been great but it was a rushed game and needed more development time.
MB is awesome but as others have said the theme can wear thin on you quickly, just a matter of taste.
MM is pretty much the GOAT. Sure that can be debated but it's always going to be in the debate!
Personally I'm looking for an MMR.
Thanks everyone for all the input. I haven't tallied up the votes yet, but I'm leaning towards MB. A lot of you mentioned AFM; I also have that game, it's great! I figure there are lots of MMs out there. I can always pick one up later. As far as CC, I love the looks of the game and maybe one will come up someday.
