I love pinball, but it's tough to find machines around here. Growing up I got to play mostly Addams Family, South Park, Tales From the Crypt and Harley Davidson. They were always good fun.

An awesome retro game bar opened up in my city recently and I've been loving the star wars machine based on the original film. The most popular machines there seem to be terminator 2 and South Park. The playboy machine also has some fans. I'd never seen one and its a crackup. When you accomplish certain feats, displays spin around to reveal topless playmates' photos from the magazine.

My favs:

Road Show
Who Dunnit
Tales of the Arabia Nights
Lord of the Rings
Theater of Magic
Monster Bash
Judge Dredd
Elvira's Scared Stiff

I just picked up a HUO Godzilla and am really enjoying that as well. Not too deep of gameplay but fun and pretty simple for the average player.

My favorite hands down is Twilight Zone. I grew up on the show and the pinball machine hits most of the great episodes and is super fun to play. I will own one, one day.

Check out my comic, The Scientists. It's like a "Genius-centric 'Goonies' that can turn thriller at any moment".

A small pizza shop had an Addams Family machine when I was younger. It's the only one I've really played, I enjoyed it a lot though. I wish I knew of a place with a pinball machine now

May the force be with you.

Lord of the Rings is the only pinball machine I've ever "cleared." Good times.

Download the Pinball Arcade app on your Android or iphone. I think it's on the Xbox and PSN networks as well. Best pinball emulator I've ever played. Ideally I'd love to play all these pins in person but this is the next best thing.

My local watering hole has 4 tables and 3 of them I actually like. Batman, the Sopranos, and The Walking Dead.
They had Lord of the Rings, which I really enjoyed, but they swapped it out right about when I started to really learn how to play it.

Pinball hall of Fame: The Williams collection is a great game. Pretty hard to find the PS3 version, but worth every penny IMO.

Here at home I have two pinball machines: Star Wars Trilogy and Batman Forever.
I like to play the Star Wars machine because it has a simple playfield.
The Batman machine is bigger and it has a more complex playfield that gets better and you learn how to play it.
A few years ago I played the Avengers machine and I liked it a lot but it way costlier than those machines that I own here in Brazil.
I can't talk about other machines because I haven't played them.

I'm a big fan of Rock N Roll pinball machines. Here is my current favorite. You can choose from 14 AC/DC tracks at the start of each game. This particular machine also has an upgraded sound system too.

So I need to share this; I just completed Royal Madness on the PS3 Williams Collection. After months and months of trying and failing it is finally finished. Honestly one of the most satisfying video game victories I have ever had.

Sweet!! I got really close on the Pinball Arcade app. Maybe I'll do it one day. Congrats on the accomplishment!
