WoZ is a pretty long-playing game. If you think it's short, you DEFINITELY don't want Attack from Mars.

Given you want longer ball times and think WoZ is too short, Monster Bash is about it on your list for longer ball times, but I wouldn't recommend it because the gameplay isn't different enough from WoZ for a 2 pin collection.

Did you close up the outlanes on your WoZ to make them less hungry?

I love that game personally, and prefer the Premium version, but it's more challenging than WoZ.

You can set the ball save on any of these for a long time - 10 seconds (maybe more, I don't remember the upper limit) is a LONG grace period. Also, if they're too challenging initially, just set the balls to 5 or even 10 per game. Then as the family gets better, you can dial it back until you get to the standard 3 ball games. That way you can choose from any game instead of just ones that have long ball times.

My recommendations would be:
Deadpool Prem
Kiss Premium
Iron Maiden Premium
Jersey Jack Pirates of the Caribbean (if you've got the scratch to pay the prices)
Ghostbusters Prem (with colorDMD added)

If you go for Attack from Mars (which can be brutal) ONLY get the LE. The integrated martian topper and lighting make that remake the stellar option it is. The lower tiers aren't as good.

There's a little post by the outlanes on each side. Moving it down makes it harder for the ball to go out the sides. Sounds like something you might want to do.

Open the coin door and hit the black button to call up the menu, then go to main menu, settings, system settings and you'll see the option for "BALL SAVE TIME" - turn that up. You can also increase the balls per game while you're in there.

IMDN Prem is great for your number two game. Modes are fairly easy to understand how to start and how to play. Has some easier shots and some more difficult, but I wouldn’t call the game hard. Crank up the music and enjoy.

Deadpool Prem you didn’t mention but is excellent also and I bet your family will have a blast on it. DP is good because even if you have a short game you likely still had fun and will hit start again for more. The LCD screen shots and call outs are pretty darn entertaining for sure.

Try them both out when Earth returns.

Welcome to the madness

How old are your kids?
I find with mine that they are drawn more to modern machine with a lot of animations.
My kids are 9 an 11 and really like games like WOZ, Hobbit, Star Wars etc.
Basically games with lots of visuals where they are following a storyline.

Playing pinball is fun!

I would recommend downloading the manual from JJP’s website. Then do a quick review of the settings.

Based on what you said and having a family, change only two settings for now.

Install Extra Easy

Install 5-Ball

When it gets too easy or too long of ball times, then change to the Easy setting. If that’s too easy or to long of ball times, then switch to medium and so on. You can also switch back to 3-Ball’s.

There are a thousand settings and I would recommend at this point just trying the preset settings I mentioned above.

For a second family pin, you could check out Monster Bash. Rules are a little simpler and most people enjoy it.

Just putting this out there but you should maybe look into The Hobbit.

Long ball times, a great theme for all ages and much more.

Spiderman

My kids love this machine.

Spider-man (the original, not the atrocious comic reskin) with colorDMD would be a good choice to complement WoZ for his family. There are a couple in the marketplace right now.

SM is great if you want something with longer ball times, it has ramps for days which is lacking from Woz

Family Guy isn't a long-term pin, IMO. Same for the Family Guy reskin, Shrek.

If you find a seller on Pinside in the marketplace, you can see what their feedback is, and also ask around. I would NOT buy from Craigslist, Facebook, or Ebay long-distance.

Strictly off your list, for a family, and can complement WOZ, MB is good. Always a fun play, can have longer ball times, rules are straightforward. A bit of cheeky humor your kids might get a kick out of. It can get repetitive if you get pretty good, but shooting for the 6-stack is always tough, as well as rock before bash.

All games you listed are good(though have not played EHOH yet, so no comment there). You’ll be fine either way.

I'd buy an Iron Maiden just to usher my kids into metal.

No way. The lower tears are the same game without all the bling. My CE is frickin awesome and I don’t need a topper or stretched out graphics on the display to say otherwise.

The interactive topper isn't bling. It interacts with the game. Kids LOVE it. Adults love it. Location players LOVE it. Plus we'll have to agree to disagree on the giant screen. It's amazing. LE is the only AfM I'd recommend. I've owned original AfM machines, but the remake LE is a whole new level.

I think with kids that age (mine are right around the same) JP, MB, and AFM are the ones you would have to consider. They are all ranked in the top 5 on pinside. 2 of them have stood the test of time, and 1 is pretty widely considered an instant classic.

I dont really think you could go wrong with any of them. The real question is...what do your kids enjoy? If they like dinosaurs, it wouldnt make much sense to get a pin to share that has aliens.

My best advice would be to go to a distributer or a location when they open and play all with the family to decide.

Everything everybody has said is pretty spot on. There are so many good games, in the end it really comes down to what you like as far as theme and playability.
Now I’m an old guy, so consider what I’m suggesting with that in mind. If you’d consider something other than relatively new games, that are very expensive, you could also consider something a few years old. That way you can get two! The more games you have, space permitting, the less you get burned out on any one of them.
There are a lot of very good Data East games that are popular, family friendly and quite good. Tommy, Rocky and Bullwinkle, tales from the crypt, and last action hero are pretty popular. If you buy from a reputable Pinhead, your pretty safe. In my opinion you get a lot of bang for you're buck with any of those titles. Bally and Williams games abound with great titles such as the shadow, Dracula and a bunch of others. My experience is they’re also all very reliable. A lot of people love twilight zone. I had one for almost 20 years, but it’s a really deep game with a lot going on, and maybe too difficult to be fun. Adam’s family is very popular.
If you are looking for a modern game that’s a re-issue, Monster Bash is definitely a top-tier game that’s really fun to play, and can be really easy to play too. I have Mars Attacks, and while I like it, and I know I’m in the minority here, I think it gets kind of repetitious. For me it’s a good game if you have five or more games.
Right now, I’m kind of going through a Data East phase. If nothing else, I’d suggest looking at some of those titles. They are fun for the family. Some of them have quite a depth of modes and can be both fun to bat around, or get serious with. I have a Tommy that I just love. You can’t beat the Tommy blinders for an outstanding physical mode. You can get them at reasonable prices, and I have found them to be very reliable.

I heard Stern has paid the fee to do due diligence for a Motely Crue game but no game in the works.
