Alright pinball wizards, these should keep you busy for a while if you can't find a real one to work your magic on. My personal selections out of what I saw are listed below; be sure and check out the rest of their site as well for more entertainment. You will need Adobe Shockwave and Flash enabled to play these.

Fun, straightforward, and well-polished presentation, doesn't try too hard.

This, by far, is my favorite.

I figure this is probably especially appropriate for BITOG with the bearings and whatnot. I lost interest in the game a little sooner than the others, but it certainly deserves a kiss for the novelty it carries. It sounds realistic when the balls clack together (which just drives me up a wall, and truth be told is the only reason I kept playing it so long).

Plain vanilla, but on the better end of plain vanilla, and particularly in comparison with some of the ones available next door. Maybe an Edy's/Dreyer's vanilla. (But which kind?) Same school as Starsky and Hutch. You have to love that Plankton... always scheming! *eyebrows raised with warm, processed laugh followed by short, genuine chuckle*

The ball movement isn't really to my liking on this one (changes noticeably according to the computer's abilities perhaps), and it seems like it would be more playable if I could figure out a way to make the popup itself bigger... any ideas? One of the sound effects bears a suspicious resemblance to one from the pinball game which comes by default with Windows. I love the design of the board.
... So you say these are still no substitute for the real McCoy huh? Yeah, I agree. Being that I can't shove a pinball machine through the monitor, this is about the best I can do. Have a look around: http://www.ipdb.org/
