Quoted from PanzerFreak:The castle toy! Probably the best toy in pinball. It's very mechanical and through player interaction reveals new shots. The only other toy that I can think of that is similar is the ship in POTC. The sounds, rules and music also play heavily into Medieval Madness's popularity.
I just wish the code for MMR could be made open source to allow home owners to create even deeper and unique rules for the game. The castle rules in MM can become repetitive after a while.
All good examples (from the King of Toys, no less!)
But I must disagree with you and agree with Pezpunk. After a full FH restoration and lots of time spent bringing Frankenstein--uh...Rudy--back to life, he is the greatest toy in pinball. Five coils to operate him, a motor, four gears, and tons of other mechanical wonders inside one 3x3 box creates a toy that you can easily believe has a soul when you hit the start button.
And that's what makes him so goddamn creepy.
