I think you have to be an adult to really appreciate pinball. The kids see the flashing lights and artwork and that's what hooks them in - not so much the gameplay. They like the visual flash that they are familiar with on their phone apps. When I was growing up, it was Atari and NES instead of phone apps.

I can't imagine kids now with modern pinball and deeper rulesets. Just hitting the ball around with no clue on objectives, but maybe there are super bright kids that play that I'm not giving enough credit. I thought the System 11 games were complicated as a youngster!
