Pinball....
Admittedly, I'm not much of a 'gamer' compared to most of the posters here -- I'm more of a PC-based, strategy game guy (although my kids got me to play Super Smash Bros Brawl -- great fun).
I've been kicking around getting a pinball game (a real, coin slot, metal ball unit) for awhile, since buddy of mine picked one up at Xmas (Surfin' Safari -- a *great* pinball game), but the cashflow just isn't there to justify it....
But for $29.95, I got a whole slew of pinball games by getting The Williams Collection. I was a little leery of buying a video pinball game (because PC versions of pinball have been lame), but when I saw the units in the compilation I had to try -- it has many of my all-time favorite games.
Gameplay is AWESOME. It's not the same as holding onto a cabinet unit, but really close. I've got the forearm stingers from my index fingers pressing the triggers too much.
For some of the elder members of this forum who may have a greater appreciation for the game of pinball, I'd recommend this game, if you're also a Wii owner.
