I am considering adding an EM pinball, so I can have from EM to DMD in my collection. What would be some good 4 player titles to to try out?
 
To each his own, but I prefer the single player EMs. They only have 1 set of score reels to clean/maintain, are more straight forward to work on, and often have more interesting gameplay as they could add more logic for game rules vs keeping track of players. Gottlieb wedge heads are usually considered the cream of the crop, but I'd go with whatever strikes your fancy.

Gottlieb Surf Champ is a nice four player. It has a small bank of 5 drop targets.
 
almost any gottlieb em from the 70's is a winner. some bally and williams are also very cool imo.
 
Over the years I have wound up owning Williams Aztec three or four times. Not really a fan of the artwork, but once you get past that, the gameplay is pretty good.
 
Williams Big Deal is a good 4 player. Space Mission, Target Alpha, Royal Flush , Aztec All good machines. Do a four plaer Em search at www.IPDB.org

It's hard to find specific titles, but i always thought this one was a lot of fun:

No specific titles to recommend, but some personal guidelines. Back in the day (mid-70's), I used to like the Williams games as being faster and punchier than the GTB/BLY/Chicago Coin games. Although since then, I've played lots of great EMs from all the major mfrs, and I still *love* my GTB Gold Strike.

In an EM I look for either drop targets or spinners, or both. Any type of buildable "goal" is cool too. For example, there are lots of pool-themed and poker-themed EMs with drop targets that are generally fun.
