Went to look at an EATPM last week that I was sure I was gonna buy, but once I played it I realized the layout is almost exactly the same as I500, which I already own. Upon closer inspection I realized that they are both Nordman pins, so maybe he had EATPM in mind when he designed I500. I500 actually has cooler toys, so I felt I would get bored with EATPM quickly. Had it been a really great price I probably would have bought it anyway, but it wasn't. The seller also had a Congo and a LW3 he let me play, so it wasn't a total waste of time.

Too bad, hope you didn't drive too far to look at it.

I know this game gets a lot of love, but the first time I played it, I found it way too easy. It got to the point where I just let the balls drain b/c I tired of it.

But EATPM has BOOBS! Maybe i should send you some money. I spose you didn't snap any pics of it so i could tell what kinda shape the ole gal is in?

elvira has been known to have that effect on men in her younger days.

This was also my thought after playing the game for a while. And I'm by no means a great player. I shopped the game for a customer and I got to put a good number of plays on it, I just don't think it would hold up in my collection.

I'm not saying it stinks or is a bad game. It is pretty cool and I see why people like it. Overall it is a nice package and is fun to play. I just found it rather easy when compared to other System 11 games.

No but it was in good shape. You could tell someone touched up the cabinet, but you had to look close and they did a good job. There was a little bit of playfield wear near the top, but overall it was clean and in good condition. Probably as nice as you can find for a game that old that hasn't been completely restored.

That's interesting. I never made the I500 / EATPM connection before. I knew they were both Nordman pins, but the themes are so different that I never really gave it a second thought. Now that I look at both playfield layouts, I can definitely see some strong similarities. If you're only going to have one of them in your collection, I500 is the clear winner in my mind. Awesome pin!

Agreed!

I passed on an EATPM as well, because I thought I was going to be able to find a WH20 somewhere. Love EATPM, and the layouts may be similar but the theme separates it for me.

I always to seem to enjoy playing EATPM. Wouldn't mind having one some day.
