Recently I have had a lot of non playing pinball people over to the house. And I noticed that when I let them choose their order of games, then tend to peter out and not really get into it because perhaps the game they chose is not great for a first timer. So I have been trying to introduce a certain "order" of games for them to play hoping it eases them into getting the hang of it. For example, I had someone who loves Star Wars and jumped right on the pin as their first pin to play. That can be a brutal game for anyone and they quickly lost interest and was not interested in trying any of my other pins.
So the last few times when I had guests over, I would recommend them start on certain games and work their way around. And I felt they enjoyed their time in my pinroom more. Part of this made me think about the speed of each game I own. So I decided to order my games based upon speed (all just my opinion). Then I decided to rate them by shot difficulty and finally depth of code (again all just my opinion)
Going back to my engineering background, I came up with printing these for each pin. Blue is Speed, Red is shot difficulty, and Yellow is depth of code.
I am going to try this on some guests that are coming over tonight and see how it goes. As you can tell, I think too much about pinball and have too much time.
This is a work in progress and perhaps a complete miss on my end.
