Quoted from MrSanRamon:I think that this is a cool idea.
I have always wondered if you took one machine, perhaps one that is not too deep.
Show a segment with that machine trying to demonstrate the rules; that pinball is not just about hitting the ball with the flippers (to keep it alive), but to complete something to get somewhere and obtain points, light show, etc.
I think one of the barriers to new people getting interested in pinball, is that they don't understand what it's about.
So if you showed how a machine is developed, designed, themed, mechanics built, software integrated, rules made; then what I have said above is the culmination of all of that effort...and why that machine was built and why it is unique, fun and worth seeking out to play.

Ok forget my post, you hit it right on the head with that idea. Demonstrate to the public what pinball is truly about. Your main goal should be to convince someone who would normally play a 45 second game and walk away to try again, practice, and discover the fun and adrenaline of getting multiball, massive points, and easing your way towards the wizard mode. People like THAT are what the hobby needs.
