I also liked the SF2 pinball machine as a kid and would still like to own one, but I think it would be too similar to the feel and gameplay of Mario.
They are really quite different machines to play.
SF2 is more "stop start", but has a bunch more shots in the playfield layout. Plus it has a really good wizard mode once you defeat all the characters.
If you can find one cheap enough, i reckon you will enjoy it.
Yeah, if a SF2 came along at the right time for the right price, I'd probably grab it. I've noticed that most of them are in pretty good condition as well....and I thought Mario was stop start type of gameplay.
I put an ad in the local paper looking for machines and didn't get a serious bite. Mostly people texting asking what I wanted and how much I wanted to pay. This town used to have machines everywhere and cant go anywhere in Wagga to play 1 machine. Frustrating!
