Most DMD games have absolutely perfect rulesets that match the layouts & themes perfectly. Any deep LCD era game doesn’t take away from that. I have a JP Prem - super deep and complex and very cool, but I don’t need every game to be like that. I wouldn’t consider any great DMD game to be “deficient”.

...just to add onto my thoughts, I generally prefer DMD era rulesets to LCD. While I love JP, there is definitely too much going on to really comprehend it all, and there's no way I can tell what those tiny text boxes on the screen say or how they're affecting my score. I understand how to progress thru the park, rescue people and catch Dinos...I understand the T-Rex modes, the smart missile, the various multiballs. The perks, fossils, and other things? I'll never memorize those, why they matter or how I should play differently because of them. I could say the same about AC/DC, a deep Lyman DMD game. I love what I understand...I don't pay attention to a lot of the crazy tourney/scoring nuance. Sometimes less is more....I can only multitask so much in a fast paced pinball game....for someone like me, most DMD era rules are perfection. Easily understood and as a player, deep enough, and I'm totally in sync with them during play.
