Well I've only played a rather beat up example a couple of years ago and I'd have to say I felt it was a bit of a dog.
If you like the show maybe that'd help. But I found it plain to look at and rather boring.
1200 dollars? - euros? Seems very pricey. If you're on a budget why not try something like a The Shadow, Dracula, Doctor Who, Judge Dredd,or even Jurassic Park - Pin tastes vary enormously but any of these "sleepers" is way better value than X-Files.
