Trying to decide which pin(s) would be the best choice from a low-end
group of games. Any advice for best games from this group:

No Fear
Bram's Dracula
Getaway
Whitewater
Whirlwind
No Good Gophers

Of those, the two best aren't "low-end" in terms of price: NGG and
Whitewater.

Well, those aren't low end on price, but they're definetely low end on
fun.

Make another list!

Did you ever find a backglass for that machine?

In no particular order, the best three from that list (IMHO) are NGG,
WW, and Whirlwind. I agree with the others, none of those can be
considered "low-end". It's true they're not in the same price category
as MM, AFM, MB, CV, etc., but they are not inexpensive either.
Examples in top condition will run you in excess of $2k+...and prices
seem to climb on these pretty steadily. Those are three of the best
games from the '90s...regardless of price.

For me it's Whitewater by a mile, followed by NGG and BSD.

Oh, I forgot to mention if you are really concerned about price,
GetAway is a great cheap pin. I see them every now and again in the
$1,000 to $1,200 USD range. It was one of my first DMD pins and I still
enjoying playing it (when I see one) although it isn't in my
collection. If I had a bigger house and deeper pockets, I would
probably have one. I love the music and the super charger. It's
mindless fun without the need to stay focused to follow the "deep"
rules that most of us love :)

These are hardly low end games. How about my 1969 WMS Paddock for $375,
shopped!

From the above group Whitewater is probably the best.

I agree with most of this, but didn't prefer NGG at all. I own a WW, FH,
and WH20 and would recommend any of them, but from your list I would say
WH20.

Not yet. The backglass I have has a 6" long crack along the lower right
corner, plus a previous owner stopped the flaking in the brown ink by
covering almost the entire backglass on the back with BROWN MYLAR PACKING
TAPE! All the lights show through dimly. :^(

This is a *real* low-end pin.
