Which is best?

[Metal Slug]

Opinion time!
A vendor store near me just got a shipment of machines in (only 114.99 each w/200 tokens, and keys).
I was sort of surprised by a few of the titles that arrived.
this is only the second time I checked this store, and I figured they would only be getting lesser titles like they had the first time (juggler girl, Inoki jishing). But this time they had Beast Sapp, Aladdin II, ,Fru full (I can't find a video of this machine in action) Neo Pharoah Zetz, Hokutonoken (i believe), I haven't see Fru Full or Hokutonoken for sale on Ebay.

Any info or suggestion are swelcome!

I would tend to lean towards Neo Pharoah Zetz!
The theme and the el-vision screen are cool!

I and most my friends find the large screened Beast Sapp quite enjoyable

[Metal Slug]

Yes, I think it was a "fist of the North Star" they has Marquee #2 on Gak's site. Anybody have opinions on this machine?

[Metal Slug]

Thanks for the opinion on the Sapp machine. I've seen him fight in PRIDE fights, and would like a fight themed machine, but I'm not thrilled about the goofy faced Marquee on it. I'd be interested in hearing opinions of Sapp compared to Gamera HGV. Funny... my little ones were afraid to play Gamera by themselves (even though the monster graphics were cartoony), but they don't have a problem with playing Tomb Raider, and she fights corpions, Cyclops, and T-rex. I think it may have been Gamera's volume also.

Thanks Sparks,
I like the el vision too, but not sure how much I like the Zetz machine theme.
I had my eye on Neo Planet 999 (not that it is any better?). If it had been there I probably would have bought it.

Go with the theme you like the best first and foremost.

Also be aware the Yamasa "El Vision" machines have very loud reels and are the least eye-shooting friendly reels made. Their rpm rate whether real or simply perceived does not allow your eye to pick up on symbols to try and hit as easily as most other pachislos. While this does not necessarily effect the out come of the spin, it does effect the play of these models. This is simply my opinion based on owning the Neo PlanetT and the Magic Pulsar. Your milage may vary...

Get all 3 or 4 or 5......

Sailorpatp....
Believe me,
I would If I had the space and funds!

Thanks Tulsa,
that is probably what It will boil down to.
I thing visual-wise I'm leaning towards the Fist of the North Star, or Aladdin.
I thought about buying the Beast Sapp, and tossing it on eBAY.
But... I don't hink I could get 225.00 like Pachinko-palace got recently (not being a machine dealer)

[Metal Slug]

I guess I should have been more specific, in that they were Aladdin II machines.
also... when I saw the crate of machines sitting there (from the side) and saw the red, blue and yellow lights (lenses) I thought.... .... "No Way.... They got a Sinbad Machine in'?

Believe me, many have made this exact statement. And none have been able to stick to it.

I would jump on the Sinbad if they had it. If they didn't I would probably go with the Aladdin II Evolution.

I just picked up a spare Sindbad ...just in case.
$238 delivered.....Now I have a spare for years to come.
The Aladdin Evolution is a nice machine too.
Both would be great for kids of all sizes.
The Aladdin Evolution needs Volume controls.
It has 4 speakers and I used 470 ohm variable resisters.
A lot like the ones you can get on the auction.
You might need to get 1000 ohm variable resisters if you want to really quit it down. I have mine set all the way down on the top speakers and it is just right for me but not if you had a baby sleeping close by. The Sammy machine gun payout would be the limiting factor.

[Metal Slug]

The Beast Sapp is what I saw from the side and thought was a Sinbad.

I have Hokuto No Ken and enjoy it very much, there are game play levels I haven't reached yet. Game play and bonus payout is a little different then most machines too. It's a game worth having in my opinion.
