+1 for co-op mode on Stern and JJP games. It would definitely get used at our house. I'd love to play with my young daughters, instead of against them. Yes, I know there are ways around it like adding more balls and taking turns, but not the same. I wouldn't think it would be too hard to incorporate this into a code update. If it's too hard, then I'm sure Scott Danesi could be consulted and paid by Stern and JJP to put it in their current games. Unless he has a non-compete, of course.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

It could confuse location players, who can sometime barely grasp the most basic concepts of pinball.
It would take time away from developers' more important tasks.
It's pointless. Previous attempts at "offering new ways" to play have failed. I'm sure Dredd's "Supergame" wasn't just intended for use in one game.
I really wasn't aware that so many of your were passionate for co-op pinball. It really seems like something most would try once or twice and never try again. One of those attempts would be to force family/wives/kids to play a co-op game with you, which they may do to humor you, before going back to whatever it is they'd rather be doing. I can't argue with you though, If you like it, you like it. You have to convince the manufacturers it's worth their time, rather than convincing me it's a fun idea.

Isn't that why I had my daughters? Make them play pinball with me? Read small text I can no longer see? Fetch me a drink or a snack? Lord knows I pay for enough things for them!

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

What you should be doing is pitting your daughters against each other in a battle royale for their father's approval.

I guess I'm lucky. My 11 and 13 still like pinball and spending time with me. My 14 year old, who is pretty good, despises pinball because she despises me and everything I like!
