Quoted from MikeS:I think you need a mix of several different eras:
modern:WOZXMenSMLOTRFG
90's:TAFTZMMWH20CV
80's:PinbotHigh SpeedEATPMCentaur
70's:Wizard - you need an EM in the mix
Perfect!!!!!!

Quoted from MikeS:I think you'd be surprised at how many people are drawn to the chimes and classic charm of EM's. Maybe not a lot of people on this forum, but a lot of casual players are intimidated by complexity and rule-sets of the newer games and would rather play a simple EM game. My girlfriend is the perfect example. When we were at the PHOF this Spring she walked right past the TRON LE and Cactus Canyon and went straight to the EM row. I even put a couple bucks worth of quarters into the EM's while I was there.
Right on target again. Simple games draw in the casual player. A complicated rule set can turn some people off (or at the least not interest them). I see this time and time again, just within my small collection of games.
