I've been in the hobby for a few years now and I used to always think there was a segment of games that were under priced. When I was first getting started there were some great DMDs in the $1,500 to $2,000 range. You could get some most of the Data East titles, plus a lot of the Bally / Williams games from the 1990s. I brought in games like Jurassic Park, Johnny Mnemonic, Fish Tales, Bram Stoker's Dracula, etc. Those games gradually increased in price, and my target shifted towards the System 11 and mid-tier DMDs like The Shadow, Star Trek The Next Generation, Indy 500, and Congo. Once again, those games seemed to increase in price and with the remakes the top-tier games had actually dropped in price, so I started to think the top tier games were the best value; especially the CE remakes at the "show special" pricing. I ended up picking up an Attack From Mars, Lord of the Rings, Metallica (Premium), and White Water. Now, I'm less sure. I tend to agree those that were mentioning slightly used Stern (Pros) being a decent value. There have been some pretty good games released recently: Jurassic Park, Deadpool, Star Trek, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Turtles, etc. I would guess you can find something for close to your budget. I just committed to buying a Jurassic Park (Pro).
