"Best" Table?
Hello guys,

well my questions is a bit more complex than "Best table". I know "best" is subjective.

What I want to know is ... what's the post popular Pinball table available in pinball arcade. Popular as in the most know in real life.

What's the table you recommend the first time to a new player like "omg you have to play this pinball table".

Thanks

My first best table was actually Big Shot, because I played it as a teenager. Then I got hooked on Cactus Canyon because I liked the Western theme. Then for some reason I got hooked on Dr. Dude (first table I made the wizard goals), and El Dorado (another one I remember).

Lately it has been Creature and Ripley's. Even still, I think Attack from Mars and Medieval have a good universal appeal. I almost forgot, I also got hooked on Cue Ball Wizard probably because I spent so much time with Microsoft's version, and this version was so much better. That was the second table I made the wizard goals.

Attack from Mars is my favourite table because of the fast gameplay, great sounds and great setting. Rules aren't hard to understand and everyone, from beginner to pro, can enjoy this one.
Some easy to achieve Multiballs, the destroy-the-ufo and kill-the-martians figures even make it enjoyable to watch if you have never touched a pinball machine.

Same goes for Medieval Madness which basically is the same thing as AfM with slower gameplay.

PINBOT is my favourite preDMD table. Played it for hours with the whole family on our NES/Famicom.

Most well known table would be Adams Family, at least in the arcade I worked at, we had 2 constantly going, and it broke often. Most well known in The Pinball Arcade would probably be Star Trek or Terminator 2, but I wouldnt recommend them to noobs.

Best table for a new player? I would probably recommend Monster Bash or Attack From Mars, both can be played rather frantically by a novice, and still get plenty of reward. Also, plenty of depth to them as well.

If we talk about current availability in TPA, I would say: Attack from Mars, Medieval Madness and Monster Bash are pretty popular, maybe because they are easy to understand and play but also have great theme and humor .

Twilight Zone is also popular among real wizards out there as its difficulty is considered as one of the tables many qualities.

Star Trek: The Next Generation is another good example for a challenging and rather complex table, plus the quality of the table is so high, you don't need to be a fan or even know the franchise to enjoy it (although it may enhance the fun, of course).

- Attack from Mars
- Theatre of Magic
- Medieval Madness
- Monster Bash

and

- Tales of the Arabian Nights

as it is always free in TPA, a great table and a nice way to try out the hobby without restrictions.

Attack from Mars is much more easier (and fun) than Medieval Madness, at least for me. Monster Bash is also a great one for a new player. Scared Stiff is easy too, but it gets so time-consuming as you get better at it (à la pinball fx 2).

with Monster Bash avoiding frankenstein for last is no easy feat and that left drain is a tough one to aviod at times.

The best table is "Attack from Mars"!

I'm playing Medieval Madness now. Starting to get used to the phyrics and to the table story.

WIsh we could see B.S. Dracula or Mary Shellys Frankenstien. Too bad those are probably stuck in licensing hell.

Cirqus Voltair
Mars Attacks
Those two are great fun straight away and look the best. The others are just as fun when you know how to play them. Then again there's a few more like those.
