Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

I’ll say it again, this time with a pitch: Last Action Hero.
After falling off the cliff into the Hobby, if there was only 1 game I could have and that was my budget and I wasn’t the only one playing it, Last Action Hero.
This game is derivative of Adams Family in its rules, has lots of cool toys, a full topper, full Arnie Voice Acting, A dinosaur, moving crane, 6 ball multi-ball, 2 captive balls, 3 magnets, a DMD, A GIANT MOVING CRANE, and, above all, an UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF “THE” ARNOLD SWARTZENEGGER!
The only reason the game is still a budget game is due to the “polarizing” art.
Look at all this stuff! They still go for under $2500 (1 on the market now).
If you are looking for your first pin and are on a $2500 budget, want something family friendly, and some neat stuff this is for you.
I got one of these as my first “fix up and sell” pin on a deal. Should have kept it longer. Here is some stuff from my old machine.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

LAH is a great game but it is getting harder to find one at 2500. Seems like everyone now wants 3K or higher.

To the OP, you have been on Pinside for 9 years, own 41 games and write a pinball blog. I think you are completely qualified to suggest a game for your friend. Or even better, sell your LAH to him for 2500 with the stipulation you can buy it back for the same price later on. This way he has a nice starter game and you can get it back.

Quoted from Jamesays:

or just rent him 1 machine for 3 months and if he still plays it sell it to him.Or find Him 1 like it.

Yes lots of options!
