That's 22/30 without looking any up, assuming I got them all right–not too shabby considering I only started following pinball a few months ago. I'll look up the 8 I didn't know for my own edification, but don't worry, Sean–your secret's safe with me (could you PM me where Hell Frozen Over is from? My Google Fu was too weak to find it myself)! Here's a bonus quiz for anyone who wants more wizard modes/bonuses to guess. As with Sean's quiz, not all of these are from physical tables:

1) Atlantis
2) Attack Mars
3) Celebration Multiball
4) Champion Challenge
5) Creation Multiball
6) Crypt Jam
7) Demolition Time
8) Eye of Ra Multiball
9) Far Far Away
10) Final Assault
11) Final Jam
12) The Final Nightmare
13) Forever
14) Hole In One Challenge
15) The Last Battle
16) Life Force
17) Meet Your Maker
18) Mega Door Bonus
19) Midnight Madness
20) Milwaukee Multiball
21) Monsters of Rock
22) Pool Ball Mania
23) Rescue the Princess
24) Riot
25) Showcase Bonanza
26) Super Payday
27) System Failure
28) Vacation Jackpot
29) World Series
30) Wrath of the Gods

EDIT: Since Sean posted the answers to his quiz, I figured I should do the same for mine. The tables marked with a V are video pinball tables:
1) Atlantis - Ripley's Believe It Or Not!
2) Attack Mars - Revenge From Mars
3) Celebration Multiball - Striker Xtreme
