Games got too hard for casual players. Shots got tighter. Instruction cards were not sufficient for explaining deeper rulesets.

Quoted from Pinrookie:Sadly it still happens today. My friends came to my home last Saturday with their kids. They were lining up to play NBA Jam as well as OutRun. No kids wanted to play pinball that included their parents. I were trying to teach them how to play pinball but they all lost interest very quickly.
I was gonna ask if you had any EMs in your collection, but then I remembered I can actually look at what you have listed. Much easier to get people interested in pinball when you have easier games. EBD hooked me. Bally Freedom hooked two of my friends.
If you want people to like a game, they need to feel a sense of accomplishment. Tight shots and complex/cryptic rules are a newbie's worst enemies.
