There's been a few for sale in the past couple of years here in NZ, alas they had all been LCD bastarised and the original CRT nowhere to be found...The one pinball machine I own I also consider to be the most underrated pinball of all time and that is Revenge from Mars. Most pin snobs turn up their nose at it because it's got a CRT, but the playfield and gameplay is nearly identical to the highly regarded Attack from Mars plus the CRT screen IMO adds a really impressive augmented reality effect that even after owning the machine for years still impresses me. But because of the monitor you can pick them up for about 1/4th the price of an Attack from Mars machine.
This was a staple in Bars around town when I was in between 16 and 18 years old. This , Crazy Taxi and Area 51 site 4 were the games we played regularly.Back in the day when I was a tech I used to play pinball on my breaks and would rotate between Theater of Magic, Addams Family, and Attack from Mars. with the occasional game of Simpsons Party, Star Trek TNG, or The Getaway.
More recently I've actually really started to appreciate some of the more simple B-Tier games like (DE) Jurassic Park, Starship Troopers, Genesis, Batman the Dark Knight, and weirdly CSI.
