Quoted from rai:

I think the layout is ok, but I own IM, Met pro which are in the same ballpark.

People keep comparing this layout to other Borg games, but to me the real doppelganger is AC/DC. All five major shots feel like they're in the exact same place. Long standups in place of the left & right target banks. Only substantive differences are a scoop in place of the TNT drops, and the Dragula catcher's mitt. I'm guessing the lower playfield kinda forces this layout to a certain extent.

I'll give the playfield edge to Munsters due to much cooler ramp design and the lack of an annoying cannon to block the right outlane and brick song jackpots. Code edge goes to AC/DC of course.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

I really think we'd all have been better off if they had just stuck with a color DMD template but we all know people here would never stand for it.

Yeah the hobby has been overrun by Theme Guys who would scoff at a laptop-sized 720p TV in their living room but somehow it's a critical part of a game that did fine without it for 50+ years.

I don't even need a color DMD. Give me old school amber, or screw it, just a numeric display. I'm never looking up there anyway.

I've never understood this logic that Maiden doesn't count as a Stern game, or doesn't count as Stern showing improvement. They went out and hired the best best player of all time because he designed an awesome game! Do you think his next one is going to suck because it's done completely in-house?
