AFM is a hands down better game than RFM. Time was spent making this game play very well, and developing rules that made up for the lack of toys. This resulted in a great playing game with deep, well implemented rules. For all its technological wonders (for its day) RFM is still an inferior game as a players game goes, but that's not to say it is not fun - it is a heck of a game in it's own right, but not as appealing for pure pinball fun in the way AFM is.
