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?
I disagree with a few.
T3>>T2 (cooler shots and combos, better flow, decent backbox mode, and a stupid cannon shot isn't critical for starting and scoring on mb)
Jackbot > Pinbot, although both are good games.
Yes, AFM >> RFM, WMS IJ > Stern IJ.
Getaway > HS
Comet is also a Cyclone/Hurricane sequel. Tough cal for me in this series.
SS > EATPM
Stern SM > GTB SM
Bally/DE ST > STTNG
LW:JP > JP
