Quoted from gliebig:

MM doesn't have the "one more game" feel to me. After I work to stack my first multiball, it's kinda...Meh.

MM>AFM, have not played MB yet. AFM is fast because of orbits and a spacious playfield. MM is a second attempt by the same design team and is superior with more features. I think Brian Eddy said he prefers the AFM theme over MM but I think MM is a better game.

Quoted from Damien:

I think I found a really good analogy for this, but you'll have to be a Guy Ritchie fan to appreciate it.

I think you'll find more Steve Ritchie and Mark Ritchie fans here.

Quoted from jonesjb:

Which is Snatch and which is Lock Stock?

Snatch is AFM, saucer snatches the cow, and Lock, Stock and barrel are more medieval terms.

Quoted from Frippertron:

Here's the deal fellas. Brian Eddy legitimately cracked the code for what pinheads wanted and will want with variations of course with AFM. The birth of the orbit, ramp, bash, scoop, ramp, orbit layout. This has been seen constantly ever since. The man should have patented the layout. It is now the base from which all other playfields are created. MM was a reworking of the same layout, so it comes down to rules, and I like AFM better. I also love MM but I think AFM might be the most brilliant moment in pinball history outside of Ted Zale's Fireball. It's a perfect game in every respect, MM might have better toys but the rules are too focused on the castle. If you own one PLEASE do not buy the other, it's the same game and a lot of money unless status symbols are your thing then you are gonna need a Monster Bash too. Mark my word here, modern pinball owes everything to a guy who only designed a few games. For one inspired moment figured it out and Stern has been building on his layouts for years. Ask Steve Ritchie the most incredible thing he has ever seen in his 40 years in pinball and I guarantee it will be Brian Eddy's solo performance on The Shadow. Design, engineering, and code. The dude is a beast!

Brian says ok get off your knees...next year you can kneel when my Stern machine comes out.

Have you listened to that right troll? There’s no doubt it’s Bobcat
