owned both....remakes are my preference....I'll take new with AFMRLE with the large color display, and awesome interactive topper all day long. Just a more enjoyable experience for most who have played my games. That being said there is and always will be a pinball "purists" market who will always prefer original so nice examples of these games will always hold pretty good value. Anyone who tells you an original shoots better than the remake is full of it....

Quoted from Shapeshifter:

I must be full of it.
I do think the original ( a nice original of course ) , just plays better.
Same with MMR.
Played 5 different MMR and a nice original just felt better.
But, hey, we all like different things!

Most games play different, but to say one plays better than the other is a stretch....I had a restored MM and MMRLE sitting next to each other for a year and they both felt a little different, but played exactly the same...for me I choose new versus old...it was that simple....

Go remake, and you might get one with that super duper new clearcote most manufacturers are now using.

to my knowledge there haven't been any remake play field issues....I think your thinking of JJP and Stern

Don't make me dig, but yeah man. Chipping and peeling.
Not to mention those playfields that you could barely read the ink and their solution was to send out a cheap plastic diffuser. lol And the ones that got tomahawked by the slingshots because they were installed wrong so they sent out the wrong plunger to compensate for that. Several of those customers were super happy too.

this was not a common occurrence as u would like to lead others to believe....its pinball if u look hard enough you'll find something thats not perfect.

Quoted from o-din:

I'm not trying to lead anybody to believe anything that I didn't see pictures of or read posted here. I never said it was common or not, just that it happened, and it wasn't in each case an isolated incident.
If it wasn't a common issue and only happened to a few then why did CGC basically tell those people to pound sand? On what they advertised as being a collectable item for home use. Especially after how long those with deposits down waited patiently to get them.

No idea....never heard of the issue....all 3 of my LE's have played flawlessly.....the only play field issue i heard about on AFM was some were claiming the colors were off.
