Best Pinball games on any system

[Nephilim]

  My choices are as follows:
Devil's Crush Turbografx-amazing game and also available on Genesis as Devil Crash I think.  There was also a sequel on Genesis and on SFC.  The SFC game is called Jaki Crush and is excellent as well.



Williams and Gottleib collections (current gen) these are a Pinball fans dream come true, they look and play amazingly.



Alien Crush Turbografx--SEQUEL coming?

I am really into pinball games.

Some I really like are Flipnic on , Devilish (I know its not a true pinball, but anyways) on Genesis, Game Gear and DS - I like the Game Gear version the best.  Likewise, I think the "Crush" series is excellent.  I really want to like Flipper Critters on DS, but its sort of frustrating to play.  Virtual Pinball for Genesis is neat for a little while.  Oh... Crue Ball on Genesis!  That game is pretty sweet and especially if you like the arena rock!  Metroid Pinball on DS is okay.  Pinball on NES is always good - I think it was even an unlockable game in Animal Crossing for Game Cube.  Dino Land for Genesis is somewhat frustrating to me but fun.

For PC, I really like Microsoft's Pinball Arcade - tables based on real tables. 

Another really cool one is this freeware game made by a Japanese guy released under Yamada No Ana Project.  Its a Slot Pinball machine and I've played way more times than I can count.  The website is in Japanese, but if you play it, the game is in English and very easy to understand.

I just picked up Williams Pinball Hall of Fame on sale recently.  And yes, it IS pretty sweet.  The gameplay physics is really good.

My childish mind won't allow me to enjoy pinball. In arcades I generally avoid it because I'm drawn to the more "flashy" games. If there was some sort of tangible prize to be earned (though a high score is pretty sweet!), I might be more into it.
Like I said, childish mind here.
