The lights and call outs make this a very stimulating game. My initial thoughts were that this game can’t compare with a modern stern but I have really learned to love it. It is bolted to my floor and will never leave. A favourite for all who come over and play pinball at my home.

Well, a true classic. Love the local accent ‘save the Brandenburger Tor’ and the like. Great game flow, if you like ramps you should definitely try this one. Unfortunately still very expensive, on my list but... well, one day!

Had not played this game much before recent purchase. Honestly was reluctant to buy it because I find MM a bit boring. But took a chance. Well, I have owned pins for over 20 years, have played at least 200 different games, at least, although I am an average player at best. Buying this game is best pinball decision ever. I feel it is the best game ever made. There are certainly newer games with more toys and more rules and more music, (Own and love WoZ) but AFM just has that IT factor. Everything comes together to make it fun with a dash of humor. Hands down better game than MM

I can’t get enough of CGC remakes! It’s also nice to move(much lighter) than any other machine I have. With the upgraded color display, I don’t think there’s a ton of difference between this and the more pricey options. Tons of unique shots & a pin that does not take itself seriously, but is still very challenging. Eat at Eddy’s covers up the pretty unsightly VUK, and the rest of the machine is beautiful. The side art is classic, but pretty bland considering how packed in the rest of the art package is. Another pin that is bolted down in the collection!

Classic 90’s pin is perhaps the most approachable pin for newbies and casual players, as everyone can understand the basic rules and have fun blowing up flying saucers. Much like MM, the theme is fantastic, the music is good and the callouts are funny. Wide open fan layout makes the game pretty fast and game times are often shorter than you’d expect. It’s not a hard game to play, but control is key with all the wide open spaces and mistakes can be deadly. I mostly dismissed this game in the past, not really appreciating what all the fuss was about. But now that I own one, I really enjoy this game and can see the genius of the design, so simple to play but very hard to master. Perfect pin to walk up and flip without having to think too much. It’s a beautiful machine too. MM has a little more to do, but both pins deserve consideration as “best ever.”

AFM survives on nostalgia alone. Let’s be honest with ourselves. It simply does not compete with modern pins. Is this game a classic? Yes! Is it a blast to play? Yes? Is it the best fan B/W fan layout? No. Is it a top 5 game? I feel like you’ve got to choose...MM and AFM are basically the same game but MM has more to offer. Also...these remakes don’t feel as good to flip as the originals. That’s a fact.

Perfect reproduction of the original with an improved saucer light show and option for color DMD with new and improved animations. One of the best NIB value in pinball. Only downside is that in a small collection it will get old due to the lack of depth and content.

The game that really got me into pinball, lose hours playing this game over and over trying to rule the universe. Seems lightning fast at first but slows down once you get used to it. Was going to be my first purchase, but doesn’t have universal appeal for the family.

Classic game. If you can afford the LE, I would recommend it, but there is a lot of bang for the buck on this one.

The remake is done beautifully. Had to make a few tweaks to dial it in but it shoots great. This game has some of the best call outs ever and the sound absolutely rocks. SUUUPER JAAAACKPOT never gets old. Gameplay, theme, and rules make the game approachable to everyone and just hard enough to keep you coming back for more. All around one of the best pinball machines ever made and CGC did a awesome job remaking it!

This is my first machine and I must say, I started with one of the best. The game is fast, the layout is great and the rules provide quite the challenge. The lighting draws you to the game and considering all facets, makes you want to keep on playing. I powder coated the trim/legs glossy black, upgraded to the HD display and dropped in a shaker. Gonna add some Cliffy Protectors, too. I plan to keep my AFM Classic for a long time !!!

This is one of the greatest pinball games ever made. Its playability keeps on forever. Many different levels of difficulty. Lots of great animations. The Remake perfectly captures the original pins playability! Great shots, great call outs, keeps you flipping all night long!

A classic and immersive game that is very fun to play. Theme, callouts and light show are fantastic. The rules are very straightforward but they have a number of key missons to accomplish and completing them all in a single game is very hard. The lock shot ramp and destroying the saucer are very satisfying shots.
This game can be challenging. Ball control is key as you pay dearly for bad shot. This makes you improve your play.
