Yea, it's one of those "which would you pick" polls.
Title says it all...
Not too keen on AC/DC personally, so wondering about plunking down the cash for Metallica Prem, or AFM...
Opinions?
When I first got into the hobby I would walk past AFM because it looked sort of dull. Later on when I started playing it I started to enjoy the humor and the fan layout, but it still seems like it's missing something. When I played it in tournaments, I started learning the rules (from other players), and it grew on me. Frankly today, I still don't get all the fuss, yet I'd like to own one to see if that helps.
However there is no question Metallica has better art, more toys, better light show, yet like AFM, Metallica has a fan layout with Lyman doing the coding. Assuming Lyman does an equivalent job with code, and you like Metallica, there's no question a NIB Metallica Premium at the same price point is worth leaning toward.
AFM has always been a favorite in my collection of amateurs and seasoned pinball players. I have many other well thought of games that don't touch it in that regards. Something special would have to happen to top that and that is unlikely with Metallica...right now Metallica is just hype
With Lyman doing the code and Dirty Donnie on artwork, I have a good feeling about Metallica. If I wasn't already in on Predator, I'd be thinking about it.
However, because DD is doing the art, I'm pretty certain a pinball museum near me will get one, so I'll get to play it either way.

+1
Only cause I reallyoved the movie "Mark Attacks". (;

You've seen the light show on Metallica already?

That's why I asked him. He made a statement that the light show on Metallica is better so I asked if he had seen it.
Quoted from Prkchpsndwiches:Who is this "Mark" guy?? Why is he attacking us?!?!
AFM is a fantastic game packed with all sorts of crap, Metallica looks great but how can we continue to have these votes until we actually lay a hand on the game ? AFM is a proven winner and top name in the hobby, Metallica is a band that was cool in the 80's then...? Where did they go ? Way Way to early to vote on this.
