MM for the win!
'They took our wives!'
'HOORAY!'
Would have been nice to have these two in the final. Eddy vs Lawlor.
I think we'll see an all Eddy final.
Quoted from dmesserly:I think we'll see an all Eddy final.
Oh yes... no Ritchie, no Lawlor, no Johnson, no Gomez, no Borg, no Popadiuk, no Balcer
Obviously - Eddy should be re-activated ... http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?searchtype=advanced&ppl=Brian%20Eddy
Quoted from PappyBoyington:So many great machines out there and you guys pick these four? I guess it's MM for me.
It seems to validate the pinside ratings. Not that any one cares. 
Quoted from The_Gorilla:It seems to validate the pinside ratings. Not that any one cares.
Exactly what I was thinking. Aside from TAF instead of MB, its the Pinside ratings top 4! I guess we can't bitch about all the old obsolete ratings keeping the newer games from the top spots any longer.

wanna bet? 
Quoted from davewtf:wanna bet?
LOL. I guess we still can, it just wont appear to be a valid argument any longer.
It appears you are right....I'm getting crushed on both semi's.......eh, still love the games.....makes me think I should have gotten in on the MMr, but TRONLE tanked my pb budget for awhile........
Quoted from CaptainNeo:people are just voting MM because they are probably on the MMR list. TZ is a far superior game. But the cheapest made econoline bally williams game of all time (AFM) made it this far, which is an amazing feat in itself.
Hmmm, so that's why it's been #1 for YEARS? People knew MMr was around the bend at some point and that they would be in on it? Yeah, that's why it's winning. Couldn't be because it's a complete package great game. 
Quoted from CaptainNeo:people are just voting MM because they are probably on the MMR list.
And they are probably on the MMr list because they like the game, genius.
TZ is making a massive comeback in this one.
I'm pulling for TZ here; especially since tend to favor the underdog and enjoy watching a good come from behind win.
Both games are worthy to be in the finals.

Surprised you didn't start that post with "actually"
except you you seemed to missed when IM was first released and everyone complained how cheap it felt and looked. They would compare it to a zizzle.

Yet, TZ seems to be the staple entry pin for most that have been collecting. Seems through the years, everyone has own or does own a TZ. It's a standard. can't be that aweful, if they made 20K of them yet they were 2k plus, for the past 10 years and last 2 years shot up around 6k. Still around 3-4k.
MM is high. but they also made 80% less of them than they did TZ's and out of those MM's many of them are still on route. Around here, we still have 8 on route within a 30 mile radius. they make money. because they are simple and easy for casual players to grasp and understand.
On a close race like this, one has to wonder if the site hadn't been down during the last couple of hours of the voting, if the results would have possibly changed back into the favor of TZ?
Anyway, it was a good classic matchup.
Quoted from Whysnow:I was on the site at 11 Central, 9 PST and TZ was in the lead by 1 point then???
No sign of the OP at that time to stamp this closed...
Looks like a hanging chad?
