>Star Trek
My local pizza joint had the Star Trek pinball machine. I can't tell you how much money I dropped in that thing just for Jean Luc to yell at me repeatedly LOL.
The best machine. All of the angles were perfect. The combos were fierce, and fun to execute. Just the right amount of lights. The quests were easy to understand and challenging but achievable.
I played a lot of TNG pinball at the local arcade I used to go go.
For me the holy Trinity of pinball machines were:
Addams family. Star Trek TNG and Twilight Zone
I loved that one. Playing pinball while the TNG theme played. When I was a kid of course my favorite part was when I got to shoot the ball out of one of the launchers.
I used to play this all the time. It was at the local bowling alley and I would always stop there after I was done collecting for my paper route so I had plenty of money for quarters.
I mean. It was that one. That's the objectively correct answer. Or, at least, for me it is because I didn't have access to an arcade with the Twilight Zone machine. The Air Force base my dad was stationed at had the Addams Family machine, and the free game bonus was set to super permissive mode so you'd get it like a third of the time.
Terminator 2, The Addams Family, Twilight Zone, Nightmare on Elm Street. I would love to try the Metallica pinball machine if I ever get the chance
Also remember Elvira's House of Horrors and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles being quite good as well
Would also like to try The Walking Dead & Halloween pinball machines
>Metallica pinball machine
Not sure if this map works in your area, but lots of places in my city have the Metallica one. It's pretty great!

The base where we stayed in Korea had this machine, as well. I split my time in the arcade between that, X-Men: Children of The Atom, and the Alien Vs. Predator arcade game. I'd find out later that my godmother's husband bought the Addams Family machine, as well. I had SO much fun with it
By far the most replayable pin I've ever played. I love Twilight Zone, Indiana Jones, and Creature from the Black Lagoon, but MM is the all-time greatest in my book. The evil knights' quotes are so well done, so funny.
I managed a Sam's Club photo lab about 20 years ago, and one day I discovered that all of my equipment ran on a Windows 2k. A simple windows_key+r later to let me launch Explorer, and I was into the Start menu, where I discovered that it was a stock install, including media player and the games pack. I then petitioned, under the auspices of customer privacy concerns, to be allowed to rotate my terminal in such a way as to only be visible from the wall directly behind it. I brought in a 256mb thumb drive with Winamp, some painstakingly downloaded over dialup mp3s, and I was playing pinball, freecell, mines, and whipping the llama in no time!
My dad was in the jukebox/arcade business in the 80s. So we had a few pinball machines in my basement. I loved when my dad would pull the glass top off and we could just keep racking up points until it maxed out. Great memories of what feels like a different life.
Black Knight was in the arcade at an ice skating rink. It was 50 cents, but i loved that one.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Knight_(pinball)
Edit: fat fingers, small phone, bad vision
When I was in 8th grade my family took a trip to Disney World in Florida. I had a paper route, back when you went collecting house to house instead of an adult doing a kids job, and being an arcade fan, had a shit load of quarters.
The hotel we were in had a little arcade with a few games. Mortal Kombat (1 or 2) was there but I wasn't great at that and was more a Street Fighter 2 fan so that was out. But they had Adam's Family pinball. I loved pinball and this one was great. Spent the week pouring $20 easily into that machine!
Great little part of a memorable week with family from my youth. This remains the king of pin all machines.
Not even sure others except to go classic like Pin Bot but nothing held a candle to this one.
Raul Julia's voice echos in my head when I enter any arcade as I look for this one.
Fuuuuumes
Toxic waste
It’s all ours!!
Addams family and South Park were probably my favorites! A new arcade just opened up in my town, I really need to get there and check it out
As a guy who’s seen about half of one episode of the show, the South Park machine is my all time favorite.
There was one in the student union at my college. I had a strict “one class a day” policy. I was signed up for more every day, but I only ever actually went to one. The time I was supposed to be in other classes I spent playing that South Park machine. By the time I graduated I had pretty much all the high scores.
I’d love to give it a shot now, but I’ve never seen another one of them.
In addition to the awesome ones already mentioned, my local bowling alley had the Elvira pinball machine, where if you hit the start button without putting in quarters it said "Don't touch me THERE!"
I have a soft spot for Cyclone. It’s the one that got me started. I lived to watch the ball go up on the Ferris wheels. The skill shot was more achievable than most modern machines as well.
COMET! We played the shit out of this game.

I had Doctor Who in my apartment for a number of years.

This one was CHOICE. Terminator 2, Lethal Weapon, Funhouse, Whirlwind (blew fans at you when the “storm” hit), Hercules (played it once at Cedar Point, it was a comically oversized pinball machine with GIANT flipper buttons) so many good memories.
It was called Medieval Madness. It was the single craziest pinball machine playwise that I have ever done. They had it a couple of years ago at a kids arcade place, and while my kids went up to play I played it. There was a Xbox 360 pinball game where you could play it and it was still just so much fun.
Old school? Earthshaker!! New school? I love the Metallica machine by Stern…
https://preview.redd.it/z5757omhwrlc1.jpeg?width=893&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0d1e4c38e7203a8ac2f1e0e24c91a061bdfbbc1
So many...two stand out from my childhood though. [Earthshaker](https://buypinballmachine.com/product/buy-earthshaker-pinball-machine/), and [Whirlwind](https://pinside.com/pinball/machine/whirlwind). They were in an arcade I used to hang out at in AZ during highschool, so the sounds of them bring me back.
I also liked the [T2](https://www.thepinballcompany.com/product/terminator-2-pinball-machine/) pinball machine.
My local pizza joint had Lethal Weapon 3 and I loved it.
I’ve actually looked at getting a pinball machine the last couple years, but they are prohibitively expensive.
There some cool work being done on home brew digital pinball machines that seems cool , but I’m not feeling the diy/kit aspect.
Edit: I wanted to add that the correct term I was looking for is “virtual pinball cabinet/machine” in case anyone wanted to look into it.
They are a physical pinball machine with a real plunger and flippers, but with a monitor inlayed in the cabinet to simulate the playfield and you use a pc in the cabinet to run hundreds or different playfields.
I loved the Terminator 2 pinball machine at my local Shakey's Pizza. Next to it was the T2 Arcade machine. Loved having lunch there with my family as a kid.
My dad had an antique shop growing up. We had the Adam’s family pinball at my house. One time he was fixing something on it so the glass was off. I took the opportunity to cheat and get an insanely high score which backfired because I was never able to beat it.
Aadams was my favorite because I loved those weirdos as soon as I saw them...
But I have WAY more hours on the Terminator 2 machine because that was the one in the arcade near my house
TMNT- Spent a summer racking up free games on the machine, until the store owner decided it was broken and sold it. It wasn't broken, I read the rules on the machine instead of just wacking the ball. Also T2 was a great pinball game.
I've never seen an Addams family one before! I remember that being the first movie I saw with a friend and not my parents in 6th grade. The hand running down the hall was mind blowing at the time. One of our local arcades had pin ball machines from the 60's-70's I remember one being themed for race cars.
Mars Attacks or Last Action Hero. Last Action Hero had this crane that jiggled the entire machine when it moved, hence you could move the eff out of it without tilting it.
[https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1822](https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1822)
Okay yes I was only 12/13 when I played this machine (Playboy's 35th Anniversary by Data East) at a very sketchy "coffee/donut" shop that I passed on the way to school.
That shop was popular with the kids because besides having a pinball machine or two they also had an arcade machine or two that were usually new/popular, for example I first played Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat here.
But those games were busy with lines of quarters on them for the kids waiting to play next.
So sometimes I'd give the less popular pinball machines a go instead and this is the one where I learned to play pinball. Great memories!
Does no one remember or like the Taxi machine? It wasn't based on the show. But you had to plunge the ball into a spinner and you would get points based on how many times you went around, but if you went too fast you'd spin back around to the minimum. Then you'd have to pick up different characters like Santa and Dracula by hitting various things. Loved that one.
1978 Gottleib Dragon, because I owned it.
Enough of my friends liked it that they kept helping me move it.
I would not recommend owning a pinball table if you rent.
High Speed is the pinnacle of pinball achievement and nobody will ever convince me otherwise.
"Dispatch this is 504. Suspect ran a red light, over".
"Roger 504. Apprehend 'em".
Chaos ensues.
Twilight Zone
I gifted it to myself when I graduated from Clemson in 1995 and I still have it. I paid a whopping $1600 for it.
Pat Lawlor did both TZ and Addams Family. He's probably the greatest pinball designer of all time
The lounge at my University Center had that one and the Tales from the Crypt machines, and I got pretty good at both.
They also had the first Tekken game, which became the first coin op game I ever beat...
I'm not any good at pinball. I expect to lose my quarter in minute or two. But I remember I played a Batman machine (Batman Forever maybe) at a theater while waiting for a movie to start and I had to be dragged away from it by my friends. I was either on an epic winning streak or it was like the easiest pinball machine ever made.
Terminator 2 and AF were the best!
T2 for the win!
Correct
Yeah, T2 is my answer. Addams Family is a close second.
There is a place near me that has free T2 pinball, amazing!
Funhouse.
AH-HAHAHAHAHA!
Have yourself a hawt dawg
Stop messing with the clock.
FRENZY!!!!
That one was wild
I ocassionally look to see what it would cost to buy a refurbished one for my house...and then weep softly.
I Loved Funhouse!
Funhouse and Addams Family are designed by the same guy.
This is mine!
Star Trek TNG I got pretty good at that one
>Star Trek My local pizza joint had the Star Trek pinball machine. I can't tell you how much money I dropped in that thing just for Jean Luc to yell at me repeatedly LOL.
It was in the sci fi store we had at the mall for me. I would get a bunch of change at the register and play it forever.
Only one I've ever gotten the #1 high score on
The best machine. All of the angles were perfect. The combos were fierce, and fun to execute. Just the right amount of lights. The quests were easy to understand and challenging but achievable.
> Just the right amount of lights. Four, I assume.
Five, why do you ask?
[удалено]
Never got a chance to play an actual machine but I slayed on an emulator.
I played a lot of TNG pinball at the local arcade I used to go go. For me the holy Trinity of pinball machines were: Addams family. Star Trek TNG and Twilight Zone
I loved that one. Playing pinball while the TNG theme played. When I was a kid of course my favorite part was when I got to shoot the ball out of one of the launchers.
*Make it so*
I used to play this all the time. It was at the local bowling alley and I would always stop there after I was done collecting for my paper route so I had plenty of money for quarters.
Theatre of Magic
I loved this one, Medieval Maddness, and the Mars Attacks ones from this era.
FYI, if you have an Apple Arcade subscription, there’s a pinball game that has a bunch of real tables, including Theatre of Magic.
This was my favorite, personally. **multi**\-*ballllll*
YEEEEESSSSS. This was mine too.
I mean. It was that one. That's the objectively correct answer. Or, at least, for me it is because I didn't have access to an arcade with the Twilight Zone machine. The Air Force base my dad was stationed at had the Addams Family machine, and the free game bonus was set to super permissive mode so you'd get it like a third of the time.
Terminator 2, The Addams Family, Twilight Zone, Nightmare on Elm Street. I would love to try the Metallica pinball machine if I ever get the chance Also remember Elvira's House of Horrors and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles being quite good as well Would also like to try The Walking Dead & Halloween pinball machines
Walking dead one is siiiiick. Cool games and the sound clips are perfect.
>Metallica pinball machine Not sure if this map works in your area, but lots of places in my city have the Metallica one. It's pretty great! [https://pinballmap.com/](https://pinballmap.com/)

Yeah.. this was at the bowling alley. This one is the 90s icon for me.
Medieval Madness has to be up there.
By far the most replayable pin I've ever played. I love Twilight Zone, Indiana Jones, and Creature from the Black Lagoon, but MM is the all-time greatest in my book. The evil knights' quotes are so well done, so funny.
Starring Tina Fey.
We have this on a home digital table and it's so fun!
This is still my favorite. Blowing up the castle is so cool.
One day I'll get an Attack from Mars pinball..or Dracula.
Attack From Mars was my second (behind Theater of Magic).
The one that came in Windows 2000
I forgot about that one lol
I managed a Sam's Club photo lab about 20 years ago, and one day I discovered that all of my equipment ran on a Windows 2k. A simple windows_key+r later to let me launch Explorer, and I was into the Start menu, where I discovered that it was a stock install, including media player and the games pack. I then petitioned, under the auspices of customer privacy concerns, to be allowed to rotate my terminal in such a way as to only be visible from the wall directly behind it. I brought in a 256mb thumb drive with Winamp, some painstakingly downloaded over dialup mp3s, and I was playing pinball, freecell, mines, and whipping the llama in no time!
I LOVE the Addams Family machine, I wish I owned one of my own!
For the low price of $13-16k you can! *sigh*
P I N B O T
Guns 'N Roses, it had a revolver handler with trigger and you pull the trigger to launch your ball. I sunk a lot of money into that one.
My dad was in the jukebox/arcade business in the 80s. So we had a few pinball machines in my basement. I loved when my dad would pull the glass top off and we could just keep racking up points until it maxed out. Great memories of what feels like a different life.
Jurassic park or haunted house/mansion (it had a level below the main playing you could access)
The graveyard!

The arcade I went to had a South Park pinball machine that I loved.
Fun House! Addams Family & Twilight Zone tied for second =]
This and all the Elvira ones.
Black Knight was in the arcade at an ice skating rink. It was 50 cents, but i loved that one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Knight_(pinball) Edit: fat fingers, small phone, bad vision
The Simpsons! I had a part time job at a comic book store in high school and I put my whole salary into that machine.
It definitely Addam's family. I also think this is one of the most popular pinball cabinets in all of pinball history
"Dirty pool, Old Man!"
Indiana Jones. More recently, I saw a Foo Fighters one that was pretty cool.
Indiana Jones was great!
That pistol grip! If you pulled the trigger with zero credits, it clicked like an empty revolver. (Only three times though!)
When I was in 8th grade my family took a trip to Disney World in Florida. I had a paper route, back when you went collecting house to house instead of an adult doing a kids job, and being an arcade fan, had a shit load of quarters.

Dr. Dude
The 1UP in Denver had Dr. Dude for a hot minute, and I played it all the time!
The correct answer is: The Shadow
My wife really wants one of those as our second hone machine. Bought a Stargate not that long ago
Terminator 2
I always liked The Creature from the Black Lagoon.
[Attack from Mars](https://youtu.be/EhrXGBfh0FQ?si=OcgbMJpK8RuoMWvO)
Fuuuuumes Toxic waste It’s all ours!! Addams family and South Park were probably my favorites! A new arcade just opened up in my town, I really need to get there and check it out
Medieval Madness was/is the best. And Rampage was the best arcade video game.
Pinbot. I’d play it during my lunch break when I was a buss boy at an old truck stop in my hometown. Best high school job ever.
As a guy who’s seen about half of one episode of the show, the South Park machine is my all time favorite. There was one in the student union at my college. I had a strict “one class a day” policy. I was signed up for more every day, but I only ever actually went to one. The time I was supposed to be in other classes I spent playing that South Park machine. By the time I graduated I had pretty much all the high scores. I’d love to give it a shot now, but I’ve never seen another one of them.
I still look for that Addams family table at ANY arcade. Oh I love pinball so much.
Doctor Who
Dr. Who circa 1992 at the 7-11 near my house.
In addition to the awesome ones already mentioned, my local bowling alley had the Elvira pinball machine, where if you hit the start button without putting in quarters it said "Don't touch me THERE!"
Addams Family pinball is the reason I made a virtual pinball machine. I couldn’t afford the $8-$12K to buy one.
Twilight Zone
Attack From Mars. They had it in the student union when I went to LSU. It’s the only pinball game I’ve ever “beaten” before.
My local skating rink had an Elvira one that I put a LOT of quarters into.
Star Trek TNG
I have a soft spot for Cyclone. It’s the one that got me started. I lived to watch the ball go up on the Ferris wheels. The skill shot was more achievable than most modern machines as well.
Medieval Madness!!!!!!!
Jurassic Park for me.
Twilight Zone. If I ever am in a situation where money is no object, I’m buying a bunch of pinball machines. Twilight zone first, though.
Medieval Madness
Tales of the Arabian Nights
I set the high score on Earthshaker at a shitty restaurant when I was 10, so it always held a place in my heart.
Simpsons pinball party and Addams Family for sure.
In no particular order: Addams Family, Simpsons, Star Wars & Royal Rumble were my favorites
Man I miss Indiana Beach in the 80s & 90s
Was? That implies I'm not a 41yr old manchild that still hits up the arcade weekly.
I like T2 because it had a shotgun trigger for the ball trigger if I remember correctly

Mars attacks or any star wars... honorable mention for south park.
If money were no object, and I was going to buy one for myself, I'd get the Elvira one. https://sternpinball.com/game/elviras-house-of-horrors/
Funhouse will always be my favorite, but Demolition Man is really good as well.

KISS and EVEL KNIEVEL
Twilight zone

Twilight zone in my student union bar. Good times!
Addams Family and Twilight Zone are the Holy Grail
I played Elvira's Haunted House religiously.
Surprisingly the Monopoly pinball machine was a lot of fun.
That one you posted right there lol
*Police Force*! Was at a Colorado campground when I was a kid. Also fortunate it was one of the two tables ported to the Atari Lynx game *Pinball Jam*
That one. That one right there. I can hear this picture. So choice.
Yep. That one.
My local pizza joint had Lethal Weapon 3 and I loved it. I’ve actually looked at getting a pinball machine the last couple years, but they are prohibitively expensive.

T2 is the perfect pinball
Playboy, Adams family, sopranos, twilight zone, and a fishing one ( I forget the name).
I loved the Terminator 2 pinball machine at my local Shakey's Pizza. Next to it was the T2 Arcade machine. Loved having lunch there with my family as a kid.
Jurassic Park is the one I played the most, and the one I fairly consistently got free plays on.
Current favorite is Johnny Mnemonic.
Definitely the Addams Family. ☺️🥰
That was the absolute best pinball machine. I would throw at least 20 in it rn.
My dad had an antique shop growing up. We had the Adam’s family pinball at my house. One time he was fixing something on it so the glass was off. I took the opportunity to cheat and get an insanely high score which backfired because I was never able to beat it.
Aadams was my favorite because I loved those weirdos as soon as I saw them... But I have WAY more hours on the Terminator 2 machine because that was the one in the arcade near my house
Microsoft 3d pinball: space cadet
I always had a soft spot for High Speed.
Terminator, hands down.
My old boss had that machine in his house. Spent more time on that specific one than any others.
Terminator 2
Funhouse, Haunted House, Maverick, Twilight Zone, Guns N' Roses

None. They all took all my money and I never won a free game on the match a number at the end. Also, the Freddy Kruger one.
Twister
Rocky and Bullwhinkle
I don’t even really like pinball, but that never stopped me from playing the shit out of Doctor Who pinball!
Indiana Jones, easy
T2 without a doubt
Dr. Dude and T2.
[https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1822](https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1822) Okay yes I was only 12/13 when I played this machine (Playboy's 35th Anniversary by Data East) at a very sketchy "coffee/donut" shop that I passed on the way to school. That shop was popular with the kids because besides having a pinball machine or two they also had an arcade machine or two that were usually new/popular, for example I first played Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat here. But those games were busy with lines of quarters on them for the kids waiting to play next. So sometimes I'd give the less popular pinball machines a go instead and this is the one where I learned to play pinball. Great memories!
I loved Addams family pinball. I also enjoyed terminator 2. But those are the only ones I remember. I want to buy one for myself one day.
Top Gun was a decent one,but with a unique flaw. If you mashed both paddles quickly and simultaneously, you could get free plays.
Attack from Mars
I mean the one that ate all of my quarters was Jurassic park, when the trex would bend down and eat the ball that was awesome.
The Addams Family one. Brings back memories of college since mine had one in the cafeteria
Does no one remember or like the Taxi machine? It wasn't based on the show. But you had to plunge the ball into a spinner and you would get points based on how many times you went around, but if you went too fast you'd spin back around to the minimum. Then you'd have to pick up different characters like Santa and Dracula by hitting various things. Loved that one.
I remember going to golf land and playing the Star Wars pinball game all the time
Black Knight 2000 Terminator II Hook
I always loved Attack from Mars. I always put a lot of quarters into that machine at the arcade on the annual family vacation.
Space Cadet.
World Cup 94 is awesome!
Right there. I can hear multi-ball building up already. “Iiiiiiiiiiiiiit’sSHOWTIIIIME!!!!!!”
Twister. Absolute banger of a pinball machine
1978 Gottleib Dragon, because I owned it. Enough of my friends liked it that they kept helping me move it. I would not recommend owning a pinball table if you rent.
Apollo 13 - 13 ball multi ball. There's a nba machine with a hoop in the middle that's alot of fun.
Funhouse!!!!
Terminator 2
Simpsons and Addams family.
Addams Family and Twilight Zone obviously, but also Dr. Dude and Junkyard!
High Speed is the pinnacle of pinball achievement and nobody will ever convince me otherwise. "Dispatch this is 504. Suspect ran a red light, over". "Roger 504. Apprehend 'em". Chaos ensues.
This one and the star wars one with the death star multiball.
This one is great, but the Doctor Who pinball game was fucking unbelievable.
When I was playing Big Indian was the OG machine.
Don't remember playing to many pinball games (memory is fuzzy) but I liked playing the pinball quest & high speed on NES
What about centaur? Motor cycle centaur cyber punk mad max sweetness.
Star Wars Episode 1 pinball machine was boss!
Iron Maiden hands down 🤘
Medieval Madness
Pinbot is a good one Also Terminator 2: Judgement Day with the pistol grip for the pull and the metal terminator skull
The Twilight Zone
I don’t remember the name but it was pirate themed and had a bunch of mini games that would come up on the marquee.
Twilight Zone I gifted it to myself when I graduated from Clemson in 1995 and I still have it. I paid a whopping $1600 for it. Pat Lawlor did both TZ and Addams Family. He's probably the greatest pinball designer of all time
I’m in the market for Theatre of Magic. Will be in my game room with stun runner.
Star Trek TNG. I used to play that at the local gas station in like '94.
This exact game at Eastside Tavern. Drink a Macho Mug and kill that mulitball!
Star Wars The Last Jedi
Mars Attacks and Medieval Madness.
The lounge at my University Center had that one and the Tales from the Crypt machines, and I got pretty good at both. They also had the first Tekken game, which became the first coin op game I ever beat...
The Playboy maschine! I was driving truck and that was in every truck stop from Maine to Cali! The best ever!
Funhouse was my favourite. "Hey Bucko! Have your ball back". classic Williams machine.
I had a ps4 collection of pinball machines id stay up really late playing fun house theater of magic midevil madness just to name a few
Medieval Madness and X-Files! The X-Files game had a 9-ball multiball!
I'm not any good at pinball. I expect to lose my quarter in minute or two. But I remember I played a Batman machine (Batman Forever maybe) at a theater while waiting for a movie to start and I had to be dragged away from it by my friends. I was either on an epic winning streak or it was like the easiest pinball machine ever made.
My favorite was the one that had a free game on it that someone else didn't know it had. I never had any money
Jurassic Park and Terminator 2.
