A fair condition Cyclone for a fair/good Johnny Mnemonic?

Good trade if they are in similar condition?

It's a move up from SS to DMD so it should make decent trading fodder (my end goal is Dr. Who), but Cyclone seems to be more liked gameplay-wise.
Thoughts?
 
JM is worth more than Cyclone.. so not an even trade imo.
Cyclone for DM would be more even I think..

Trade and don't look back. Johnny isn't a bad game at all, its super fast.
 
Value wise they're pretty close but JM is a lot more fun, I'd take the trade if you end up with the JM. Make sure the glove is working though, those might be tough to get parts for.

this is a case of overated pin for underated pin, ......in other words id trade cyclone for johnny anyday

You think Cyclone is that bad? I think it's one of the top 5 System 11's out there!. To each his own...

I would think it's a fair trade since Jm is a dmd pin.... BUT a good condition Cyclone is getting harder and harder to find....
 
Thanks for the replies!

We'll see if the deal goes through then, I really like playing Cyclone, but the wife and I are still gunning pretty hard for Dr. Who so if it will get me closer to that goal I'll take the trade if I can pull it off.

You're right, a good condition Cyclone is getting harder to find, though the CPR playfields will be out soon now that the pre-order is closed :)

i NEVER said its bad....i like it an have the ability to play it anytime

it is a single ball game though, and so i cant say a top 5 for sys 11

but DMD ERA game that doesnt get love thats fun for a SYS 11 thats a great game in its time but not that fun in the longrun..........not hard to decide
 
I have Cyclone in good shape and it's an okay game, but pretty simplistic compared to later games. I definitely think a JM would be an upgrade.

That reminds me, time to clean the playfield...
 
I think their value is comparable, usually JM is in better condition than Cyclone and usually priced a little higher too. JM is not a highly regarded or popular pin like Cyclone, and I like Cyclone a lot for the era, but I have always liked JM a lot and it's SUPER fast. Personally I'd rather have the JM than the Cyclone. A collector might rather have the Cyclone though.
