Quoted from Lermods:

I actually like the game, but agree code is pretty shallow. Iron man is very shallow in a similar way, but it’s a great game so not sure why so much hate for Munsters. Maybe the hate reflects the fact that prices are so high now, so expectations for what the game offers, such as depth, are high. I think what Munsters needs is a diversion every now and then, like some modes or MB’s that take you away from the grind of trying to complete the levels. Tspp does this well, so does DI as does DP.

For me, the Iron Man theme is much more fun than Munsters. Even though IM is a simple game, the music, callouts and sound are excellent. I haven't played Munsters, but it's not a theme that resonates with me. Regardless of code, it was never on my radar.

Quoted from Rarehero:

This is a horrible attitude to have about $6000-$9000 products. It should achieve excellence at launch & be worth the purchase price. Any update after that should be bug fixes and gravy. You don’t spend that much for a mediocre game & hope that it’ll get better. There’s no guarantee of improvement.

Unfortunately, this is very true. I often see people saying things like 'it will get better as code matures', but there's no guarantee of anything with any game. Buy based upon what the game is and if you like it, not on what you may think it might be.

Quoted from PW79:

As others have said

Munsters code is done per Stern's v1.0 philosophy

And that 1.0 is a very misleading number. Bug fixes and play balance are not a part of that.

Lyman is great, but he takes years to get his games complete. Are we ever going to see an oi mania mode?

Yes

Quoted from rotordave:

Because they are fun.
Ironman has System 11 level code. It’s awesome. Totally suits the theme. Totally suits the layout.
You don’t need layers of code or 147 different characters to choose from (in fact that’s exactly what you don’t need lol)
You need one thing. Well, two things.
1/ theme integration
2/ fun

I think I remember hearing an interview where Lyman said he and Lonnie had 3 months to get the code done for Iron Man. I kind of regret selling mine and I think I'd rather have it over the Iron Maiden that replaced it.
