tell me why starship is the poor mans MM

Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?)

The playfield layouts are almost identical. The brain bug is in almost
the same place as the right troll on MM.

outta ya ;-)

AFM is the Poorer mans MM, Starship doesn't come close.

Well I don't know about it being a poor mans MM but I just picked up a
huo Starship Troopers and it's a great game one of Segas best for sure.

Totally agree with IronMan.

AFM is the "poor mans MM." Starship Troopers may supposedly have a
similar layout, but it's far from even being remotely comparable to MM
or AFM. A remotely similar layout alone doesn't have much to do with
making a game like MM.

I'd take an AFM over MM any day.

I have never heard that. If I did, I would laugh at whomever said it.
Right to their face, even if they were selling a SsT I was buying. I
LIKE SsT, but it is nothing like MedMad.

I thought Big Guns was the poor man's MM?

I agree. Kinda ugly, but it is fun to play.

Hey, if it weren't for the sniper targets in Raven, there would be no
trolls in MM. ;-)

I have both, and in my view they are very very different machines.

ST is great for a short blast and fast-paced games. MM offers long
games where you need to build a sequence of completed tasks in order to
get high scores.

PS: this is my first post to this newsgroup. Hi everyone :-)
