Whirlwind is a lot of fun - I remember playing this back in its day and had another bash at MarkC's recently.

I haven't really played Funhouse but a lot of people like it.

About Judge Dredd, I know nothing!

I think Whirlwind and Funhouse could be picked up at pretty reasonable prices if you look around (or work your contacts).

Funhouse is one of my absolute favorites. Beside the obvious - friendly Rudy turning narky as it approaches midnight - there's some classic shots on this game. The left outer loop (Gangway) which takes you to the pops, the Hallway entrance, the centre mode start hole which can be made several ways, but my favorite is a slight deflect off the Super Dog targets (billiard style), the right hand loop through the pops which is way harder than you'd expect, and the upper loop off the upper flipper which after three loops gets so fast the ball is flying.

And you get to whack Rudy in the mouth!

Who could ask for more?
