    Quoted from robertmee:

    Just thinking about sequels to pins that 'failed'. Okay, maybe 'failed' is too harsh a term....Didn't meet expectations. Doesn't have to be a direct sequel, but could be a redone theme.
    Some that I feel where the sequel is not as good as the original:
    T2 > T3
    Pin*bot > Jackbot
    Cyclone > Hurricane
    EBD > EBC (EBC less than EB too IMO)
    Fireball > Fireball II
    WMS IJ > Stern IJ
    AFM > RFM
    Some to discuss
    BK <> BK2K
    HS <> Getaway
    What say you?

    Although I think AFM is better than RFM, RFM sold more games. I can't say it didn't meet expectation when there re double the RFMs compared to AFM.

    I think that's more attributable to the state of pinball manufacturing that more RFMs were made....That was about the only thing available for OPs to buy, and it was the new P2K format.

    Gotcha.
