[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 258326, member: 134"] I agree that Medieval Madness is a good one to learn on. It guides you towards what you should shoot out and the rules are fairly straight forward. Plus you learn the art of combo-ing ramps. If you step out of DMD world, Whirlwind is fairly straight forward for learning a non wizard mode table that still has a run the table type scoring. The unknown here is what type of player are you? You say beginner, but is that new to pinball in general or just not skilled? Are you just looking for long ball times or going for a sense of progression? Are you the type who is happy with average scores or are you looking for tables that let you take enormous leaps if you know the secrets? For instance, EBD is a great table to practice and hone your skills on, but it's not ever going to be a super high scorer. Creature is a table that once you discover the shear amount of points available in multiball, you'll ignore everything else on the table. Then there's Ripley's, which has this insurmountable point wall until you learn the rules and go from thinking 20 million is a good game to being disappointed with anything less than 200 million. The last issue to be addressed is what do you own? If you are looking for advice to know which tables to buy, just buy Season 1. There are many different types of tables within it, good for all level of play. You'll quickly find out what kind of player you are from that, and then it will be much easier to make recommendations.
