At my household, WOZLE was king over Elvis and even my Fix It Felix upright machine. People went nuts when the house spun around & around. I didn't even try to explain the rules, see ball & hit ball.
What pins were the most played @ your house?

My WoZLE just was packed for its new owner, LOTR was the most played.

RCT followed by Maverick and then STTNG. Tron arcade game got in the mix too.
23 pins and the WOZLE (that just arrived the week before XMas) easily had the most plays. Second was my foosball table.
Non-pinheads were here for holiday family gathering.
Out of 7 pins, STLE got a *lot* of play.
Way more play, then any game here for years by non-pinheads (based on a decade of parties)
Oh, and as typical, MM got some play. The other 5 games set dormant
Death, WOZ didn't last? what happened?
Family really didn't care much about the pins.
Daytona USA got played, and the slots got played.
This is why pinball is dead. Given any other entertainment alternative, people will avoid the pins.
My dad played the most pinball, and he played about six games of Hi Dolly. Reminds him of his youth.

Maybe you just need some good ones.

Couple of the older guys played mine but at family parties the pool table, air hockey and foosball are the highlights.
ACDC is always the winner for those that play.
Congo and Jurassic Park got the play at my place, mainly cause it was just me and I felt like beating them up.
My future son-in-law must have played 200 games of AFM over the last 4 days.meh plays it morning to night.
I waxed it while he was away...Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk...

My girls and their cousin(all teenagers) logged at least 50 games on Spiderman Christmas day. They played TZ a few times but lost interest because they did not like losing sight of the ball. Also they had no clue about the rules. I had my best game on Spidey to date 135 million. Only owned it for a week.
Quoted from whoknowsgoi:Death, WOZ didn't last? what happened?
Since we opened the box until present, less then 80 games. Everyone (me included) just kept going back to the older machines. All the bling is cool but you cannot watch the bling and ball at the same time, and to be honest the theme really never did anything for me it was more for the wife and kids who really didn't touch it as well. So it is being moved along as part of a trade/sale. Maybe someday again with The Hobbit but not right now. I do love Keith's programming especially with LOTR, although I lose him on WoZ out the door he returns with TSPP on the way in the door.
I had about 40 people over for Xmas Eve during the course of the evening. A lot of people played pinball and Monster Bash was played the most by far. Strangely enough, this year TFTC was receiving tons of attention too. Last year, I don't think it was played even once. As always, nothing gets more attention than my EM Haunted House Rifle game.
Had about 30 people Christmas day. It's a fairly regular group that is familiar with my games, so STLE was played the most and had a large amount of positive comments. WOF was in a distant second.
My daughter has a birthday a week before Christmas, and the #1 hit among 20 screaming 9 year old girls is always Midway's Sea Raider.
As for Christmas Eve and the adults, it was between Sea Raider and Whirlwind.
I thought AC/DC Premium would be the big hit, but it just didn't get much love.
Quoted from TaylorVA:Played a lot of Dora the explorer on the Wii. OMG. The holidays must end!!
Haha, my daughter had me doing the Nick Jr. Dance Party on kinect for a very, very long time.
Quoted from Jumbosinbad360:My WPT, the family love it the most out of my last 8 pins.....

That is one pimped out WPT! Looks awesome. I sure do miss mine and would pick up another HUO example in a heartbeat.

Yeah, I did some dancing too but was trying to put that in the past. Thanks for pulling that mental band-aid.
