    So I have one pin, Doctor who. I love it. Deep rules, hard shots, and can drain like a sieve. Keeps the masochist in me coming back for more.

    When I have friends over for RPGs or tabletop games, the things I like about DW are frustrating to the infrequent pinballer. The complexity and difficulty pushes them away.

    I was thinking about adding a second pin as soon as I got my first and now I think I might have a direction in my search.

    Any suggestions on titles that fun, easy, and approachable? (Sci-fi or fantasy themes are a plus, but not required.)

    Not looking for offers yet, just ideas.

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    It's difficult for me to find titles to play and so I'm trying to narrow the list.

    Quoted from egyptrus:

    Given that you're in Racine, you should maybe head to the Midwest Gaming Classic this weekend. Lots of pinball machines to play, which should give you some idea on what to get next.

    Actually that is why I made the thread now. Gives me a better list to look for instead of just wandering aimlessly at MGC.

    Quoted from Piparoo:

    I'll second T2. Nice, relatively affordable, DMD game with fun shots, good flow, and a cool theme. If you have a little more cash, why not Revenge From Mars? A lot of non-pinheads like it.

    I just wanted to thank all of you for the advice.

    Being the noob that I am, I had not seen an RFM until last Saturday at the Midwest Gaming Classic. It fit my needs perfectly, my family loved it, and it was such a unique experience that I grabbed one yesterday.

    Even in two pieces, it was a beast to get downstairs.

    Sadly, most of the boards in my wallpaper are newer than the one in the game and several of them have Cyrix processors too.
