I love virtual pinball almost as much as I love the real thing.

I don't have any history with pinball on the Mac platform so I would love to hear of games that stood out for you.

Another pinball tragic! Good to hear! I've never had much luck with virtual pinball outside of "Pinball Arcade" on the iPad..

Real pinball machines in my collection currently: Surf Champ, Atlantis, Strange World, Black Rose and Checkpoint (Porsche themed)..

There was this one that was actually a promo for a brand of beer that was well done...

In my opinion for PPC is Tristan :

Thanks for those suggestions, that will make a good place to start.

I like this one: https://macintoshgarden.org/games/full-tilt-pinball

As an owner of a Stern Sopranos and Williams ST:TNG, I haven't been happy with many pinball simulations. I like The Pinball Arcade, but that's obviously very new. If I were to pick for classic Mac, though, it would be the Pro Pinball series, especially Fantastic Journey. It has the best physics of the time and the table designs aren't outlandish.

There was a version of Eight Ball Deluxe which wasn't terrible but I don't remember if that was for 68K or just PPC.

Another suggestion is Royal Flush; it's here :

I remember that one actually. Was there not a story where Space Cadet actually started as part of this game before becoming a built in game on Windows?

Oh wow, I did not realise these games were on the Mac as well. I have to agree, their physics was top notch for the time. I still play them on my Windows machine today. I guess there is a point of comparison to be made there as well.

Both of those look interesting as well, thanks. I do have an appreciation for 2D tables, easier to navigate as you play.
