2 machines only. If you are a decent player you get 2 games with deep rule sheets. Otherwise you’ll be bored silly.
Recommend - Wizard of Oz and Simpsons Pinball Party.
If you are a person who is just going to play once or twice a month or turn them on for parties. You’ll want games with “cool” toys. Addams Family and Medieval Madness.
Quoted from solarvalue:Easy...Multimorphic P3
Two P3s make the most sense! We're up to 4 playfield modules and a bunch of mini-games. So you can set them up with completely different content and swap games at will, and you can set up a networked head-to-head game like CCR or Heads Up! and play directly against somebody else.
Further, some of the games are traditional pinball (Heist, LL-EE), and others are very different gameplay mechanics. OP's situation is perfect for P3s.

Here are your era choices IMO:
EM
Early solid state
System 11
90s DMD
Modern Era
Era selections depend greatly your bankroll. So figure that out & then purchase accordingly. Rotate them over time. With your limited space, never have 2 games on hand from the same era. Variety is the spice of life, and will make you a better player. When you determine your favorite eras, swap titles routinely from that era.
My tastes are from all different eras, so being limited to 2 pins would lead to some really difficult decisions.

There's as much variety within the realm of EM games as there is in games since 1977.
Pre-war games
Snooker pins
Flipperless 40's games
Reverse flipper games
50's & 60's 2" flipper pins
60's & 70's Wedgeheads
3" flipper 70's games
Quoted from JethroP:Depends on you....what do you want? Family oriented? You like monsters and demons? Shoot 'em up themes? Crazy sounds? Wild art? Deep rules? Water themes? TV show themes? Movie themes? Etc., etc., etc......

Oh yeah, whatever you get you'll likely rotate them out for something new after a few months anyway.
Sorry may be I wasn't clear, what games would you want if you only could have 2 games? Thanks great input so far!!!!
Quoted from Coz:I assume you still have these 2 games. Are you looking to sell/trade for something new?

Nope not selling either, I really enjoy T2 since it was kinda of the pin I turned to corner on in learning how to play. Had a Paragon as a kid, just never knew what to shoot other then spelling out PARAGON, if I remember there was a girl on it with some nice ones as a 13 year kid I really enjoyed looking at.
I may have the disease of being a buyer in this pinball stuff, I have a empty basement of around 3,500 sq feet so sky is the limit and funds are really of zero issues if I want something.
I was curious what 2 machines the nutty pinball crew would want if they could only have 2 thinking it would help me decide on my list of machines I may want in the future. Birds of a feather ..............................................
Just got the WWCE delivered today, and pick up solid 8 TAF this week. TAF will most likely never leave til I am dead, my dads old DE won't either. All other machines have a chance of being sold some day.
I have moved out into the sticks and will be playing more pinball. Oh I also have a Pennant Fever, and stand up 60 old video games machine. Love that Pennant Fever for friends and kids that are not into the pins or video games.
I am more of a casual player moving into the pinball crazy, I know a little about pinball and can play oka, won a free game on my second time playing AFM yesterday. don't know what the score was, got a couple extra balls. Willi Wonka maybe a machine that never leaves my home as well, it plays for all and is just plain full like play me again fun for me.
Choosing only two is hard for me. I'd probably end up with a Mata Hari and a Black Knight pro. Eventually swapping out the black knight for another game my wife chooses.
I like black knight quite a bit, but it is the only pin she plays at the house.
All of these fit in one cabinet and can be swapped out as desired. Best solution available.
