OP
Quoted from Chitownpinball:

Honestly, I dont get the appeal of this pin. Is it the theme? It cant be the playfield, its barren as hell! I was bored playing it at the PHOF a few months ago and couldnt wait to move on. I would never pay for this pin to be in my collection. Dont get it. What am I missing?

I don't get it either. I had one and found it really boring within a week or so...which is weird for me, since I usually keep games for 300-500 plays before I sell them. However, I'm glad it's so popular because I was able to sell it and roll that into a Tron LE.

Quoted from bobbyconover:

Strange, I'm the exact opposite. I have bought both a Tron and an AFM within the past couple of months and I've probably played AFM 5x as much as Tron. In fact I'm a bit baffled by the Tron love in general. I want to like it more, but shooting Quorra endlessly gets old fast for me.

It's probably because I've realized I can shoot other things besides Quorra.
