Quoted from vid1900:Modern pinball is too hard to learn for today's kids.
They did not get to start learning by playing EMs, or SS pins.
Kids put money into a WOZ or AC/DC, bat the ball around a few times and move on to the crane game.
The goals and gameplay of the crane are obvious.
I blame their parents. My father played pinball with me when I was a kid, because he was a good parent.
