Kirby's Pinball Land and Pokémon Pinball (both the GBC original and the GBA sequel) rocked as well as Sonic Spinball.

Metroid Prime Pinball's pretty damned good, too.

No not even those.Metroid pinball c´mon,for metroid standards that game is pretty lame.

Sonic pinball was good but is not the best in the series.

I havent played kirby.

I think that I deserve a handshake and a pat on the back because I tied my shoes all by myself today. Thank you for considering my application.

Awesome. I have Cue Ball Wizard and Barbwire machines in my basement in mint condition but I've always been looking for an old school Kiss or Playboy machine. Addams Family is cool but damn, that board has a lot going on in it.

I used to love this game. There's nothing like the multiball "It's SHOWTIME!" going off while you have a crowd around you.

Ah the joys of working on your own pinball machines. I have two myself, a Twilight Zone and a Indiana Jones. They are fun to have, but pain to work on....

Addams Family and Twilight Zone were my favorite pinball machines of all time. A local pub & grub used to have both of them, one at a time. I can't tell you how many quarters I've plunked into them.

Ahh the Today in Joystiq pat on the back. I remember when I got a pat on the back from Justin on one of these. I'm too lazy, I mean tired to go search for it though. I loved the silly Super Mario pinball machine just cause it had Mario. I loved the Addams Family and Star Trek pinball machines. Sonic Spinball doesn't quite feel like a full Sonic or pinball game but I did beat it fair and square. Metroid Pinball with Rumble is sweet and my all time favorite. Someday I might get Devil's Crush and see what that's about.

I don't have a good experience with those Addams Family machines. Almost every one I've been to have eating my quarters...

I think that is deserving a pat on the back and a handshake, Joystiq.

My only complaint with the Addams pinball was that there was no ball rescue timer, and this thing was notorious for shooting the ball out right between the flippers or towards the outlanes. Even happens in pinmame. Gotta love the realism in the ROM!

Supernice! Every so often I get all nostalgic for the days of actually going to the arcade and start searching ebay; this is one game that I always look for. Someday...

I've been wanting one of these machines for years, I just don't have any place to keep it in my small apartment. I spent an entire summer as an arcade rat playing this, Whirlwind, and Mortal Kombat.

Hey, I remember the Addams Family machine when the local arcade wasn't total shit! I loved that thing, mostly because it was relatively easy to get a multi-ball, and it was bloody awesome when you did!

The Adams Family pinball machine was right up there with Funhouse, Terminator 2, and The Twilight Zone. Those were some of the best pinball machines of that era. Also good were Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, Star Trek: TNG, and of course later the Attack From Mars machine and it's sequel. Oh, and there was an Elvira machine I also liked. Damn...I miss those days. It was really the last gasp of a great gaming era. Pinball was the shiznit.

It's always one of those things you HAD to have when you were a kid. A pinball machine in your own home. They always had one in the movies *stares off dreamily*

The Addams Family is probably my all-time favorite table. Restoring one of those deserves full respect and more than a little jealousy. Wonder if that guy will follow up with fixing up an Attack From Mars table next. I still don't know what's my favorite thing from a pinball table - the Babushka or the Big-O-Beam.

I used to love the Adam's Family pinball game. It may have been because it was the only one near where I lived, but it was awesome none the less.

My father in law has one of those, in working condition. I tell you there is something about REAL pinball that cannot be mimicked digitally. It's probably the actual feel of the ball. I would play real pinball over digital pinball any day of the week. (The thing however is noisy as all-get-out. (It's either sound off, or sound on (which even on "low" is loud)) Anyway, good pic choice... especially since you could have chosen something from the soon to be released game that you don't stop talking about. =) Hmmm... THAT would make a cool pinball table.

Pinball is awesome on several levels. The physical nature of the game makes it soooo much more than any videogame ever attempting to duplicate it.
