It's weird teens tend to like my CSI, WOF, Spiderman, Tron

and kids like my Transformers, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Iron Man.

Everyone plays Ghostbusters and it is not the ghost that scares them away- it is the flipper gap. Usually they walk away after one game of quick drains.

Let that kid bang on those flippers, that is the only way he will learn. I would stand behind my son and place my hands over his and help him get that feeling and understand how they work. Most important is tell him not to use both flippers at same time, which tends to be instinctive. My son started at age three and now he is five and has some serious skills. I am amazed at how he can play Star Wars LE. That game is really a fast game and his ball control amazes me considering his age. I also bought a multi-cade and he plays that machine everyday.
