[QUOTE="HotHamBoy, post: 249600, member: 4638"] This is a list I'm really scratching my head at. Cactus Canyon and Firepower are good newbie tables but everything else... If I was trying to get into pinball and someone recommended Goin Nuts I might just quit playing altogether. I think good newbie tables are games with very clear objectives, a clean playfield design, lenient rules and lots of safe shots. That's why White Water/Space Shuttle is such an easy recommendation. I'd say Big Shot/Scared Stiff is another good one, too. Dr. Dude is a mess of a game to look at and pretty unforgiving. I also take issue with Dracula because it is a demanding game that can be really punishing. I find my own play on that table to be pretty inconsistent. I think F-14 is way too fast for a new player. Taxi is a great choice but I don't think I'd pick that pack as one of the four because of Harley Davidson. My thinking with my choices was to try and give a new player as much value for their $20 as possible. Some of the pairings make that difficult. When someone is just getting into pinball the prices for TPA may seem expensive, so getting 8 strong tables seems important. That's why I don't recommend any single table packs, no matter how good, if someone isn't ready to appreciate the quality of that table. [/QUOTE]
