If I had an immaculate PotC what would be more valuable an immaculate RBION? Or same price?
Which do you’ll prefer?
I own both but cannot tell you which is better. I've owned RBION since it came out and POTC for 3 months. Owning RBION this long says something, but also means I kind of take it for granted. Some random musings below.
RBION has great playfield, ramps, vari-target, idol magnet, but doesn't really have a mechanical toy. The talking head is just a head that lights up.
POTC has 3 mechanical toys! The mix-master (tortuga), the ship (of course!) and the chest.
Both are great looking games, IMHO.
POTC can seem very open on the bottom 1/3 of playfield, but it works well for the game.
RBION can have short ball times, by default.
POTC can have long ball times, by default (I opened up my outlines to make it harder!)
RBION is a Whitestar game
POTC is a SAM game
Which is better? That's for you to decide. Or get both
I don't have much about these games on my site because they have been very reliable (and I mostly document repairs). But here's two links
