With “Pinball at the Zoo” only a day away, it is seems time to revisit the popular emulators that allow anyone to relive the magic of the steel ball from the comfort of home. The two rivals for your micropayments are “Zen Pinball” and “Pinball Arcade.” Each offers different strengths, but nothing will replicate the feeling of playing pinball in person.

“Zen Pinball” and “Pinball Arcade” are available to download on most smartphones, tablets, computers and some consoles. On some of these formats, the front-end loader is free and they offer one free pinball table to play. The real fun comes when you buy the licensed tables that range from the humorous “Plants Vs. Zombies” to a classic like “The Machine: Bride of Pinbot.”

“Zen Pinball” and its console equivalents, “Zen Pinball 2” and “Pinball Fx2,” pride themselves on comic book themes or science fiction. Fans of the Marvel universe have a lot of games to choose from.
