Yeah, if you have your heart set on a DMD my suggestion would be to try to stretch your budget to $2,500 to $3,000. They you are within the range of games like Johnny Mnemonic, Terminator 2, Demolition Man, Judge Dredd, Fish Tales, Bram Stoker's Dracula, World Cup Soccer, Jurassic Park, etc. Personally, if I was looking for a machine under $2,000 I'd probably be looking for something pre-DMD.

Sorry, I took it as advise for first time buyers looking for a DMD game under $2,000. If that's the question, my honest advise would be to save up a little bit more or look for another era. I don't think there is great value in the sub-$2000 DMDs. You can spend a little bit more and be within the range of many great machines. I mentioned some in my previous post, but you could easily double or triple that list. If we're not talking about actual advise and you just want a list. There is probably only a list of two dozen or so machines: Last Action Hero, Party Zone, Big Hurt, Dr. Dude, Lethal Weapon 3, Maverick, Batman, Hook, Sharkey's Shootout, Cue Ball Wiazard, Waterworld, Street Fighter II, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Tee'd Off, Checkpoint, Whipeout, Hurricane, Al's Garage Band goes on a World Tour, Pistol Poker, Gladiators, Rescue 911, Mario Andretti, Shaq Attaq, etc. I'm sure that list will only become smaller and smaller too. If someone had their heart set on a sub-$200 DMD, I would tell them to go play anything that come up locally in that range. If they like it, buy it. Unless something has sentimental value, they are not machines I'd recommend hunting down.

I had a chance to put a few more games on a Lethal Weapon 3 this past weekend. I couldn't give a deep review of the rules, but it's a great shooting machine. If someone were looking for a budget DMD that would certainly be on my short list.
