Critic you seem to be a big fan of pinball based on your reviews, I've bought some pinball video games based on your reviews here. For example, Pinball Arcade for PS4, which is awesome and I've highly enjoyed it even though I'm quite terrible at a lot of the tables. I love playing the Star Trek TNG table on that game and appreciate that it's faithful to the real thing, as there is a retro arcade next door to this popular bar my coworkers and I go to, which has that table and being a huge Star Trek fan I love it. I'd love to own the real table some day.
Some other good pinball video games I've come across that I haven't seen you review yet:
Hyper 3D Pinball (Sega Saturn) - I think it was also on the Playstation and PC, I got it brand new for the Saturn back in the mid 90s and it was one of my favorite games for the Saturn. It only has six tables and they're completely made up but they're a lot of fun, and it had the 3D views that have become mainstream in recent pinball video games. The physics seemed pretty good to me.
Pinball FX2 (lots of platforms) - I first started picking up tables for this game on the Xbox 360, then they started releasing them for the Xbox One and made them cross-buy. Lots of good tables of various themes and IPs, although I don't know if it was ever released on physical media, not sure if that will prevent you from getting it. They've released a lot of tables for individual purchase and packs of 3 or 4 but I rarely ever see tables for sale except on Humble Bumble deals for Steam.
I can't think of more at the moment, anybody have any other suggestions for good pinball video games that haven't been reviewed here yet? I think a themed review article of pinball video games would be a fun read.

Well, there's Marvel Pinball: Epic Collection Vol. 1, which features 10 of the Marvel-themed tables from Pinball FX2 / Zen Pinball 2. You can get it for about $20 on Amazon:

Another game that might interest the Critic is Pinball Arcade Season 2, which never got a physical release in the U.S. This one's isn't too expensive either:
