    Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:

    I don't want to sound like a dick, but why would you try and force your non pinball friends to play pinball?

    Recruitment of noobs is highly encouraged in this hobby, although his MO may be a little off.

    If you have games at home, the best way to get your non pinhead friends hooked is to invite them over regularly. Once or twice a year won't do it. For the first shindig, keep it simple. Top 3 scores on MM get prizes. Don't divulge the prizes beforehand. They'll go for it.

    Quoted from vid1900:

    Unfortunately, all of the games you own are a nightmare for noobs.

    Noobs like easy bash toys and MM's castle is one of the best.

    To get them to shoot the ramps, you can tell them they'll hear Tina Fey.
