Here are some of my recommendations:
On the PC the ones you should go with IMO are Epic Pinball and its pseudo-sequel Extreme Pinball. And there's also the AWESOME Microsoft Pinball Arcade (the one with the Gottlieb pinball machines). I should note that there's also a GBC port of it, but it's not worth it
On SNES you can't go wrong with Super Pinball 2. One of my favorites in the genre ever made
For the GBA there's Pinball of the Dead, Sonic Pinball Party (I liked it), Pinball Challenge Deluxe and, in a certain way, Pinball Advance, which is quite decent IMO
On the Genesis/MD you should go with Psycho Pinball (it's sort of like the Digital Illusions pinball titles) and Devil Crash MD/Dragon's Fury (the original JP version, not Tengen's US version. Speaking of which, I advise you to avoid its unofficial sequel, Dragon's Revenge, like the plague)

Pinball Advance, which is quite decent IMO If you want to play it bad enough, go for the PC shovelware bundle, Pinball Madness 4, instead - it includes all of the same tables (actually remakes of Spidersoft's Amiga Pinball Mania tables) in much higher resolution and without the horrible screen scrolling, which should not happen with angled tables ever.

If you want to play it bad enough, go for the PC shovelware bundle, Pinball Madness 4, instead Well, Pinball Madness isn't really shovelware, unlike some other pinball bundles. Each of the collections consists of perfectly legitimate commercial releases that stood quite nicely on their own. But do be cautious: Pinball Madness 2 included a version of Pro Pinball Timeshock, but did not include its redbook audio soundtrack! (I went through a lot of heck trying to track down that soundtrack afterward.)

The ellipses make it sound like a bad thing. :P

Midnight Magic for the Atari 2600 is shockingly good. Obviously it's simple but it's executed well considering the hardware.

Any recommended retro pinball videogames for MAME?

What few pinball games MAME can actually run are not especially good. Maybe Super Pinball Action might be passable, but most arcade pinball games were on, y'know, actual tables.
Unless you're talking about Visual PinMAME...

Oh yeah! Pinball Action is the arcade pinball videogame I remember from my childhood from late '80s and I was trying to remember its name. Such a shame that it's not as good as I remembered it. But since there aren't any good pinball videogames for arcade (I also asked somewhere else with the same answers as yours) I'll stick with the pinball videogames on consoles.
I'm not interested in Visual Pinball. Besides, games like Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection are more than enough for playing actual pinball machines in videogames form.

Video Pinball from Atari is fun, but it uses overlays for the bumpers, making it hard to play without them. There's an Vs. arcade version of the NES pinball, but it has inferior sound to the NES version. From what I read, it sounds like HAL actually developed the NES Pinball. In a reply to a youtube video, a programmer (who I think also worked on the MSX Rollerball) claimed to had work on it with Satoru Iwata. The odd thing is that the early Nintendo NES (I heard somewhere than more than Pinball had help from HAL, but I'm not 100% on this) and MSX games (which were definitely by HAL and even included stuff like the very first Eggerland and Rollerball) aren't listed on HAL's official site. This site mentions some of the sources about Iwata and NES Pinball.
