Quoted from Matt_Rasmussen:Well, I think you need to switch your judgment of what a good machine is by how it looks. Sure, the DMD is important, but most importantly is how fun the machine is for you to play. Personally, I really like the DMD displays and the creativity that the programmers had/have. I think LCD's look odd in a pin, but, I'm sure that will change as the devs come up to speed with that technology.
Pick games you like to play, not games high on the list or ultimately you will be disappointed with anything you choose. Along with an empty wallet...
Personally, some of the system 11 machines are my favorites, with the 'basic' alphanumeric displays, the devs really pushed the limits of those too.
Totally agree. I could pick and buy my top 3 games which are deeper, more challenging and fun to play IMHO...all for the price of a single game on your list. Don't go with the masses sheep mentality...buy what you enjoy. And I think they are aging just fine. My top machine was built in 93-94 and it blows away 100% of the more expensive LE versions of games that are coming out today. Even my 2004 RBION is way more fully featured than the games of today. Just because a game is new and/or expensive, doesn't mean it is that better of a game.
