    Tough one.
    Whirlwind is probably my favorite because it has the first "wizard mode" and was the first game to take advantage of 3 senses. Sight. Sound. And touch (with wind blowing on you during critical gameplay situations).

    Whirlwind set the bar.

    Quoted from hassanchop:

    ww has the first wizard mode?
    cool, that is news to me, thnks.

    I believe the "Mega Door Bonus" is considered the first wizard mode in pinball.
    But don't quote me on that

    Quoted from Finrod:

    I thought Black Knight 2000's The King's Ransom was the first of these.

    Could be.
    I had read somewhere the Whirlwind was the first game with wizard mode.
    Anyone out there know if that's true or not.

    Quoted from MikeS:

    Finrod is correct. Black Knight 2000 came out a year before Whirlwind and was the first to have a wizard mode (King's Ransom).

    Sweet.
    Thanks for confirming.
    Never played BK2000.
    Look forward to taking it for a spin someday.
