I grew up with a ROAD KINGS in the house, the only reason I knew how to kinda play it was the attract mode instructions segment, telling you what switches do what on the displays and what they light while simultaneously lighting them on the playfield- I remember knowing how light lock but knowing WTF that meant

What other games besides the aforementioned and newer sterns do that using the attract mode??

Centaur doesn't really explain anything regarding game play, but if you push the flipper buttons it explains what the different areas of the playfield are.

Most new Sterns, with the LCD displays, have instructional videos for game play shots for just a few modes. They even now show you how to start a game and that there are flipper buttons on the cabinet that activate flippers.

Lots of Gottlieb System 3 games (the alphanumeric titles) will briefly scroll through some “helpful tips” on the display during attract mode to tell the player what to shoot for.
