While I admit it isn't pinball, I've got my favorite game sitting in the
garage:

"SPACE WARS" by Cinematronics

This was the commercial adaptation of the oldest video game, with two
ships, a sun w/gravity, and an occasional asteroid (non-shootable, rats).
There is only one drawback to this game... it is a two player game, with no
solitaire options.  However, there are 10 basic games, with 5 variations
available on each, so once you find someone to play, you can keep them
hooked for a long time.

And the neatest thing is how much I paid for the thing... *$50*!  It is an
old game (came out in 1977), and, without a one-player option, not too
popular.  I called around last summer, got quotes mostly around $300, then
called this guy.  He said the video and everything worked, but it wouldn't
boot (read coins and start), so he let me have it for $50.  Came with
schematics, even.  A buddy and I worked for three hours, one afternoon,
everything seemed fine, but just would not boot.  Then I noticed one of the
connectors had dust on the BOTTOM!  Flipped that sucker around, and it's
worked fine ever since.
