I live close to Blackpool in the Uk which is a sea resort, use to have hundreds of machines in these arcades. Be good if they got the new Wizard of Oz machine

Oh dear. You must find it hard to buy and sell pins with the dreadful Pinball Paradise on your doorstep!

Here's my list of actual tables played which are now available on TPA:

Attack from Mars -- My favorite table of all time! Strobe Multiball effect notwithstanding, the TPA sim is *great*!!
ST:TNG
Centaur
Tales of the Arabian Knights
Ripley's Believe It or Not!
Gorgar
Black Knight
Big Shot -- For years it was in an arcade at a mall near my house.
Genie -- In the same arcade.
Firepower --- Another one of my favorites; The TPA emulation captures at least 80% of the feel of the table.
Space Shuttle
Pin*Bot

I'm pretty sure the only one I've played IRL that's on TPA so far has been Twilight Zone, sadly.

Not that many pins here in Argentina :(

You probably got to play some that we have never seen too. Brazilian made Taito pinball machines, perhaps ...

That's it for me. Not too shabby! Shoutouts to Eight on the Break and the Silverball Museum in NJ for giving me chances to play these games :p

Mostly thanks to the legendary Pinball Wizard Arcade, which lures me across the border into NH every couple months. Well, that and the tax-free booze.

I actually meant that of those on TPA TZ was the only one I played IRL. I have played others growing up such as Getaway, Judge Dredd, Lethal Weapon 3, TFtC, South Park, X-Files, The Lost World, and maybe others I can't remember.

My daughter's (9 years old) favorite virtual table is Genie. We were at CA Extreme a few weeks ago and they had a real one. It is HUGE. You forget when you're only playing on a screen just how big some of these machines can get.

I think I've played every table in TPA in real life. Maybe not Harley Davidson, Big Shot or Central Park - unless they've been at the Pacific Pinball Museum or Expo, in which case I probably did play them at some point!

I've played "Mars Attacks", "Star Trek: The Next Generation", "Space Shuttle", and "Elvira and the party monsters". Beyond those, I had never played the others before.

There's actually a local arcade in my area that has a Pinball section.

They have "Mars Attacks", "Monopoly", "Gone Fishin", "The Simpsons", "South Park", Dirty Harry", "Star Trek: The Next Generation", "Corvette", "Star Wars: Episode 1", "Black Knight 2000", and some pool game. (I forget the name, but it's got a bunch of pool balls in the middle of the table if I recall right.)

You can check out this arcade on Facebook. Just look up "Megaplay". The picture will be a blue logo. I run the FB page, and have a ton of pictures up.

I've been pretty lucky lately and have made a bunch of trips to large public pinball collections, as well as MGC which had a ton of these. I probably played a bunch of the unbolded ones when I was a little kid going to the arcade, but the only ones that really leave a strong impression in my mind from then are Funhouse, Whirlwind, Attack from Mars, and Theatre (also Comet, but we don't have that yet).

I started playing when I had to use a chair or stool to see the playfield. So I'm glad to see some of the great tables I played back in the day are in TPA. I look forward for more tables to come!

* - These are tables that were around when I played heavily and I played 100s or 1000s of times on these.
Genie is in italic since I know I played several wide bodies and this table seems awful familiar, but I'm just not sure..

So now I'm trying to get some time on real tables again, What's I've played in the last month:
CFTBL
LOTR
NASCAR
World Poker Tour.

Luckily CFTBL and LOTR are about a 10 minutes drive fro mhome. Might head out there tonight!
