    Quoted from Jediturtle:

    My little girl has been "playing" for as long as she could sort of balance sitting on the glass leaning against me. 6 months or so I think. She played her first solo games at early 2. Now she just turned 4 and can defeat the ringmaster, trap the ball on a flipper, and I've even seen her start juggler multiball on CV. CV is by far her favorite and she's taken to calling it her game. She has been enamored with the ringmaster since she first saw him. She'd flip out every time he'd come up with the ball stuck on his head magnet. One of her first words were "ball hat!".

    Too cool. My daughter 3 years old just loves the flashing lights. She even uses one flipper at a time. Nothing cooler then your kids digging pinball. High Speed and Pinbot look good next to each other. Nice set-up.

    Here is my daughter, she just turned 5 years old, got flipper control that she is getting the hang of. Before it was just 'mash the flipper buttons at the same time. She is improving.
