Zen Pinball - Favorite Table?

[KingMixer]

Thought I'd start a thread to see what everyone's favorite Zen table is. Not Marvel, just Zen. Good physics or bad, what's your favorite one to play?

For me, I think Sorcerer's Lair is #1. It's the closest they've ever come to a real table, IMHO.

#2 would be Excalibur (although it consistantly kicks my a**!)

Thoughts?

Rocky and Bullwinkle feels the closest to a real table to me. It doesn't have any animated-character-gimmicky stuff, and it's definitely the most challenging of the bunch too. I wish Zen would make more tables like that. Most of the others are too easy and you can keep the ball going forever, but some of that is also because the flippers are too close together.

Excalibur and Earth Defence would be my top two. ED is just fun and Excalibur doesn't have much animated character things.

Yeah, Zen sometimes goes overboard with the animation. It winds up being more of a distraction than adding to the gameplay.

I don't have all the tables so I am not familiar with Sorcerer's Lair. When it comes to Zen 3D as DLC though, I'll get it as we both agree on something and will accept your advice.

I really like earth defence, but it's far too hard to reach the goals. Also the ball is far far too heavy, often almost stopping dead going up a ramp even after a big smash.
I like Excalibur too, but the multiball shot is almost impossible, I've only ever locked two balls.

I stopped playing FX2 a while ago but the best table I played was probably sorcerer's Lair.

Not counting Marvel Pinball, my favorites would be Earth Defense and Excalibur. Both have very interesting themes and sport great layouts with good rulesets.

I must say the zen tables tend to have great music though.

The Paranormal table is really fun. With 15 extra balls, sometimes I have sessions lasting over 10 hours.

Favorite Zen Pinball? Hmm for me it's Epic Quest. I like the design the charm (Max's quotes are funny) And the idea of progression. Other Favorites are MARS, Earth Defense, Sorcerer's Lair. If only I could play Rome and Buccaneer on the PS3 as those look really cool.

Epic Quest is cool, it's a RPG table. Did real life pinball ever have one of those? Not that I know of.

What about Bally's Dungeons & Dragons?

Never played it. Did you build XP and did it carry over from game to game?

I don't believe so...I thought you were talking about RPG themed tables in general.

for me i liked them all untill now i can really say whats my favourite 1...Epic quest!really good table

I have the original Marvel Pinball Pack and Excalibur. I had some fun with them when I first got them, but got tired of them after my skills on them plateaued. With the introduction of TPA, I have no reason to go back to Zen.

You're not missing much with Buccaneer...it's little more than a low rent Addams Family ripoff. It just makes you wish you were playing the table it jacked. Rome is fairly interesting, though.

I only have the Core tables and the Marvel Pinball Pack...although i like Rome, Wolverine is my favorite. Sorry for breaking the rules but i don't have much to choose from

I really like the Spider-Man table in the first Marvel pinball. A lot of great combo loops. It's almost as good as the Stern Spider-Man. I also like Ghost Rider, but it's way too easy to rack up extra balls and play it forever.
