    99% of friends and family will humor me by:

    Looking at my collection and say wow.

    Then:

    Be afraid to touch the games even after I turn them on and say just press the start button.

    Will play a DMD game and be frustrated because they have no idea on what to do.

    Will gravitate to the EM’s and wood rails because they remembered playing one back in high school days.

    Will quickly become frustrated because they are “Chimp Flippers” and can’t do shit.

    Will then play the puck bowler because they understand bowling and the game is stupid simple to understand and play once I explain you have to shove the puck hard enough for it to rebound back. The puck bowler will hold their attention for maybe 20 minutes so long as I tank when it my turn

    They will combine their “collective mentalities” and decide to watch “The Game” on TV.

    Bottom line:

    They suck at pinball and do not want to take the time to learn or get better. Plus they do not want to look incompetent with their feeble skills.
