I think the simple fact is that the first time you open a game your gonna freak out a bit, maybe a LOT if you not someone who has traditionally liked to tinker with stuff. The truth is that EM games are, as stated, really simple. If you go slow, work carefully and ask questions you will figure a lot out fairly quickly. I also agree that start up sequences are the most difficult but only because multiple things happen in 1 second and typically the same symptom can be caused by more than one issue... so it’s just a little more complex, but even then, not super hard. Not saying I got it figured out, but I have come a long way in some years and had only pinside and other web resources to learn from... it can be done.. would LOVE to know an old hand or experienced tech, I bet I would learn a ton quickly!
