I have Williams Pinball Hall of Fame for the Wii and thats where I learned how pinball really worked before I started obsessing with it and wanting to play machines in real life. It had Gorgar, Black Knight, Firepower, Space Shuttle, Pinbot, Taxi, Whirlwind, and Funhouse on there.

Firepower is great for learning ball control and shooting.

Space Shuttle is SO fun too, easy to get multi ball.

Pinbot and Funhouse... such cool games and concept but a real bear for beginners.

Whirlwind... simple enough, lots of fun, but has some complexity to it that keeps it interesting even for more advanced players.

Taxi far and away was the most addictive of those titles for me. So simple in concept, but just out of consistent reach to get the jackpot every time. Only downside is that actual machines need to have strong flippers, because those ramps are killers when you can't get them all the way around.

There's a fish tales at my local arcade. I absolutely love that game. shooting the alternating boat shot with the music build each time is a real adrenaline rush. and then you do it and the machine rumbles like you caught the monster fish. LOVE IT!
