The Simpsons Pinball Party aka TSPP, is a good game, it’s a deep rules players game, lots of stuff to shoot for, repetitive sounds and difficult to master, which is good usually. Not a bad choice for a first game. Something to consider: TSPP has been around for a long time, has aging parts, but a deep history of repair expertise floating around here.

Not to say you couldn’t find a reputable company to sell you one that will send out a repair guy that could fix it should something happen, but maybe consider a new game at that same price point that has new parts???

Others that come to mind for a first family pin... dialed in, guardians of the galaxy, wizard of oz, Stern Star Trek, Spider-Man VE (vault edition)

There’s many others, but unless you just love the simpsons madly, your ears may tire of it in a few months.
