Maybe Shadow if you can find a good player
You will get sick of Fish Tales after a bit, but it is better than Freddy.
Quoted from Bohdi:Roadshow is really a great game, with tons to do, and is fairly deep. And a DMD. Might be my 1st choice for 3k or less......
Roadshow is a good one. I have seen some pretty nice ones go for $2600. Lots of game for under $3k
Everyone forgets Gilligan's Island...
Great game, easy rules, a fun shooter, DMD, easy maintenance, Well under $3k for most in decent condition.
fish tales, johnny mnemonic, no fear, no good gophers, demo man, T2 for dmd. pinbot, earthshaker, whirlwind, elvira and party monsters for non dmd
Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:WHERE?
Everywhere.
Whirlwind, Demo Man, and BSD are the best of the games mentioned thus far.
If you can find a Shadow for < $3k, I'd highly recommend it. It's an awesome machine, was my first in and will be my last out.
If you're interested in Gottlieb games I can't recommend Stargate enough. It's been my only pin for over a year now and I'm still really enjoying it!
Roadshow and High Speed II are a couple other good choices that come to mind. Popeye might be worth looking into too if you're willing to give it a chance.
Lots of good suggestions here. You have a lot of choice under $3k even with a DMD provision. My personal recommendation is Jurassic Park, particularly if you like the Addams Family rules (as it follows a similar ruleset). Can be easily had under $3k, and with the ChadH code you can make it a far better game than Data East originally programmed.
My second recommendation would be World Poker Tour. Probably the deepest ruleset available at the price point, but this game has crept up recently and tends to be around the $3k mark. Might be a bit of a wait for one under that threshold, depending on your local market. But it's a lot of fun, especially if you like drop targets and long shots that mandate accuracy.
Quoted from CollinT:On my wishlist:
Freddy: A Nightmare on Elm Street
Fish Tales
Ugh, I hate Nightmare on Elm Street. Loved the movie, but hate the game. However, if that's on your wish list, get that. There is no game better than the one YOU want.
