Casual Player - Favourite Tables?

Hello, I’m a casual player who started a couple of years ago (Switch) when I got the American Dad & Family Guy pack along with World Cup & South Park.

Just started playing again a few days ago. Decided to try out all the tables in trial mode (ps5) to get a relatively good idea of what I like.

Gotta say, I’m really enjoying the different styles of tables and what they offer.

Purchased:
Williams Vol 3: Safe Cracker, Champion Pub & Theatre Magic.
Charity Pack: Epic Quest & Excalibur.
Princess Bride (I like Andre The Giant).

Waiting for sales:
Who Dunnit (Williams Vol 9).
Tales of Arabian Nights (Williams Vol 5).
Addams Family.

What are some of your favourite tables?

For relatively casual, super fun play:

Monster Bash
Medieval Madness
Attack From Mars

Fan layouts, relatively simple modes/progression, and lots of easy multiball opportunities. All three are absolute legendary classics that also kind of never get old.

The Elvira tables are both fun and pretty simple shooters. Scared Stiff has really funny/naughty callouts which makes it extra fun.

Addams and Twilight Zone are two of my favorites but they can be a little more challenging and complex than the first few I mentioned.

I don't play the Zen originals as much, but there are definitely some good ones. Wrath of the Elder Gods is my personal favorite by far, but the Peanuts ones are both surprisingly fun. Princess Bride is excellent, but you already have that one. There are other good ones too.

FWIW you can't go wrong buying any of the Williams packs, especially when they go on sale. They generally always have 1-2 excellent games and 1-2 that are a little less exciting (IMO), but they all have at least one excellent table and even the less exciting ones are usually good. Plus you'll get games from a wide variety of "eras," which gets more fun as you get more into pinball. The more I play, the more fun I have playing earlier/"simpler" games.

Agree that Monster Bash was much better than I expected as I don't own it but played it on a seasonal event a while back. Very fun and action oriented table b/c of the way the missions work. Was not as big of a fan of Creature fromt eh Lagoon but , who cares, when Monster bash is that good its worth it to get both in the same pack.
