How many pinballs out there are close in game design to other titles and what are they?

One that comes to mind is space invaders and its normal bodied cousin silverball mania. So much of the playfield design is similar to an si but in a smaller space.

I'm sure there would be titles from say bally that are closely replicated by say stern etc.

Flash -> Skateball -> Fathom. All three amazing titles.

As Marty mentioned - Black Knight -> Jungle Lord -> Solar fire

There were 11 conversion kits by Geiger-Automatenbau GmbH, of Germany (1978-1992).
Eg. Miss World from KISS.

If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
