Quoted from snowvictim:It's my favourite pinball game, that's why I'm so undecided on the issue. I'd love to have the original just for the sake of it being the original, the way it was originally designed with all its history etc. But, having said that it's my favourite pinball game, I will undoubtedly be spending hours and hours playing it, so I'd want it to be tip-top condition, and HUO pinball games in Europe are as rare as motorbikes with an ashtray. The thing is, MM costs about the same as an NIB MMR in Europe, hence my indecisiveness.
Having read all of the above comments I'm actually more inclined to buy the remake now. Oh boy!...
Look for the color chip and the shaker motor on ebay and wait for 15-20% discounts there. Could save you $ if you hit it right.
