I like the Tales from the Crypt (TFTC) shooter style handle on my TFTC machine as well, but they are usually broken at some stage and have to be fixed. Mine wasn't 100 percent when I bought mine so I had to buy the parts n fix it.
Stern has probably stuck with the simple shooter add on to keep maintainence low for sited machines.
I think their will be a lot of aftermarket mods for this TWDead machine. Hope so.
I like the Pro, Premium or LE model. It works because all 3 models sell really well.
Just like the car industry, people love choice and don't mind paying for it.
I still say the Pro is always the best bang for ya buck these days. But I do have friends who only buy the LE, so each to their own I guess. Most Stern owners are hanging on to their games as long term keepers. You only ever see a small percentage for public sale. It's going to be interesting to see what Stern brings out next. Anything after a zombie title might look boring. Lol
