I always enjoyed the PS2 version of The Gottlieb collection, even though I would have loved to see my all-time favorite pinball table on here (1977's Spirit of '76, a Gottlieb Bicentennial-themed wood rail). This collection is also on the PSP. From here you have the Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection for PS2, XBox 360, Wii and the PSP. Oh yeah, Farsight Studios also did Action -52 for the Genesis as well, and it actually had at least one pinball table :)
Great review! Just recently, I started getting into video pinball. I enjoyed games like Alien Crush and Sonic Spinball, in their day, but I missed the boat on the last 20 years worth of development. After playing around with Pinball Fx3 and Zaccaria, I'm starting to really appreciate the pinball simulation genre. Incidentally, Demon's Tilt is a lot of fun, too. It's sort of a modern take on Devil's Crush, from the TG16.
I've had this one for the OG Xbox since its release. I couldn't even begin to tell you how many hours I put into this disc. All the tables in this collection are fantastic. Farsight did an excellent Williams pinball collection, too.
I own this game for the Wii and absolutely love it. There's also a "Williams Pinball Arcade" collection, and put together as a package, I have never been wanting in pinball action on the Wii if I feel so inclined. I agree with your take on the pros and cons here. A few things about the UI hold it back just a smidge. Still, great game overall, and it's hard to beat for the price.
I was surprised how much I enjoyed this game considering you can get it for dirt cheap. Unfortunately, they used a cd rom instead of a dvd rom disc, and sometimes my PS2 struggles to read it. My copy has locked up a few times on the Black Hole table. The Williams release is even better, and costs just slightly more. It's also on a dvd-rom disc so it starts up and plays much better.
Fun collection I have it on Gamecube and Wii. Genie is an amazing table I used to play at the local convenience store. Old memory. but I'm pretty sure you'd get 5 plays with a Susan B Anthony dollar in the center coin slot.
I actually enjoy playing this really great pinball compilation and yes they did make a PSP port of the game to and and there's a PPSSPP emulator for android and grabbed a iso copy from the web and started playing it you do need a mid range android device because it runs really slow on mediatek devices.
Never had this one or the Williams collection. I think I would've been happier if it had up to 20 tables, but I don't know many Gottlieb Machines. Also, the majority seems to be EM.
The floodgates for opportunities have opened

I recommend the wii version because it has extra tables, but it is more expensive. The williams collection is top notch too.

The title theme slaps. Too bad there doesn't seem to be a clean rip of it online. It's not even clear from the credits who made it.
Big Shot / Pro Pool is very simple but was my favorite pin to play in an arcade. El Dorado is next up as a target classic.

I had this and I played it a lot!

This was a fun game. With so many tables it has quite a bit of replayability. I did not know about the unlockables

Played Black Hole and Tee’d Off within the last year or so in real life. The others have me interested. Looks cheap on eBay. May pick this one up.
