Quoted from japespin:When most people come over to my house, they ooh and ahh upon first look at my pins, maybe play a game or two, then move on to the Skee Ball, arcade cabinet, and slot machine for the rest of the night. In general, I think awareness of the pinball hobby is growing, but gameplay is still too complex for most people's tastes to want to delve deeper into it. They flip for a few minutes, have no idea what's going on, then move on.
I try my best to get my friends and family into it, but they just don't get it the way I do. It is what it is.
This is so true! The most played machine in my house is the big ball bowler.
