The list of pinball players who don't rate MM that high is a lot bigger than you'd think. Played it a few times over the years, and one day decided to buy one if I liked it after putting some games on it at a dealer's who had one waiting for me to try. So off I went ready to try and buy. When I got there, next to it was a clapped out AFM which I grinned at, having a nice one of my own at home.
Played the MM for a few games, and while it is a fun game as I remembered it, I was not really inspired. Without much thought I moved over to the crappy AFM, started and played out a game, grinning from ear to ear - until the thought crossed my mind "I just drive an hour to look at and maybe buy an MM, and here I am having more fun playing an AFM, and mine at home is tonnes better"
Needless to say, I left with my wallet intact!
