There are too many changes from the original (and not for the better).

It's a Clayton's MM.

Pass.

At the price for MMR, money would be better spent on Lebowski!

Why are people calling the supposedly new and improved Medievil Madness fake ?

Why is it not improved ?

Can anyone list technically why the new remake isn't as good or better than the older game.

Surely the 2014 version will be better ?

Can anyone suggest the Aust $ pricing ?

Really want to know how this new release is going to be compared to the older model ?

Hoping for facts please......

Can anyone help out who really knows their stuff  on this subject ?

It is running a hobbyist MPU that is not designed for this type of commercial application for a start. Second that large board underneath looks like a disaster waiting to happen to me.

Give me an original any day over this abomination.

It may well LOOK and PLAY the same but it will be on the scrapheap LONG before the originals IMO

Is the hobbyist board a Raspberry Pi?

If so, suggest that owners by a spare board as soon as you can that matches the configuration used for MMRM.  Agree that you don't use off the shelf major components that you can't really on future supply chain.  Stern did this right - own the design to your board, so that you can reproduce it for 10+ years, rather than 'redesigning' your development environment every time the supplier changes their configuration.  Control your own destiny as much as you can.

If so, suggest that owners by a spare board as soon as you can that matches the configuration used for MMRM.  Agree that you don't buy off the shelf major components that you can't really on future supply chain.  Stern did this right - own the design to your board, so that you can reproduce it for 10+ years, rather than 'redesigning' your development environment every time the supplier changes their configuration.  Control your own destiny as much as you can.

It is one of the numerous "Raspberry Pi" - "Custard Tart" - whatever stupid name they want to call the latest iteration might be, these things change weekly. Madness to use this in this very expensive, "high end" application. There just is NO excuse for it other than straight out money grabbing IMO.

If this machine used the Stern Spike system it would be a whole different thing - as it is it is a pile of crap waiting for new owners to complain after a year or so. With a SPIKE boardset it could have become every bit as collectable and valuable as the original - massive FAIL!!!

This is where Stern and Homepin get a massive tick. Machines designed and engineered for commercial use.

In 10 years time, we will still be able to fix original MMs. The Remakes will be a risk due to available hardware and techs with experience to fix them

MM "Remakes" = These games

MM "ReFakes" = Rebadged Congo or NBA Jam (always very badly done) machines.

In this case I would PREFER an NBA or Congo conversion because at least they use the correct (original) WMS boardsets.....

The irony of it all is the same people that designed and make the beaglebone black at $78 are the same people making the IC's in  late model pinbals...
Texas Instruments,so the same argument can be used in 10yrs time about obsolete parts.There are already parts no longer produced that have been used in the Stern Sam system,also custom PIC's on Whitestar and Sam systems.
