    Quoted from Flipper_Ripper:

    What’s the staying power on these? Are they still fun after a year?

    Had mine for a little over a year now - custom Minnesota North Stars and Chicago Blackhawks. Maybe two dozen plays total - I'm sure there is bookkeeping in the settings to get an actual number of plays but haven't looked. Usually gets played when people are over, which is infrequent. Wife doesn't like playing against me...lol, and don't have any kids. Have a Namco bartop Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga that gets more use. Will be adding some pins in the near future to expand entertainment options - don't currently have any.

    Do I regret getting one? No. At least not yet.

    Quoted from Blitzburgh99:

    Here’s how I practice by myself. Let puck on first face off go to one team. Then play that team and try to pass to all five players, any order, any direction until the puck goes to a spot that’s unreachable. Then switch sides and do with other team. Repeat until final horn sounds. Take some shots along the way. This will help your puck possession and play making skills.

    Good tip. One player is a great way to practice passing and doing one-timers!

    Quoted from Pinfidel:

    A lot of people love Super Chexx Hockey, but the problem is always needing 2 players to play it. A lot of people buy them & end up rarely ever using them because they can't get, or don't have that 2nd person to play with. What they need to do is invent/come up with a way for the game to play by itself so you can play with only 1 player.
    If they could set up a series of sensors & optos where the game can track the puck & move all its own players, that would be awesome, & they'd sell a ton more of them. Cause now you can buy one & play it by yourself vs the computer.
    They could even adjust the settings for the computer player where you can set it to "Rookie", "Veteran" or "All Star" difficulty modes in the regular version & in the NHL vesrion, they could label the modes "College", "AHL" or "NHL".
    Just a thought.

    That's the issue I'm having with my Chexx. My wife doesn't really enjoy playing, we don't have kids or have people over often (it seems like social gatherings are nowhere near pre-Covid levels, but that's a completely different topic), so mine just collects dust on the dome. It's basically become an art piece in the basement. At least with the 3D Pong table, the A.I. can control one side. If someone offered me a fair price to take my Chexx away, I probably wouldn't have any remorse when it's moved out.

    Quoted from weinerdog:

    Is it because the games aren't very competitive, or is she just not much for the game itself? If it's the former, what worked for me is just getting my better half to play once a day as a routine and I would ease up a bit. Once she started finding the players faster, our games are much closer and she wins her fair share.

    Yeah, it’s the competitive part. I’d handicap myself by playing one handed or slowing down my movements, but then it feels kind of insulting.
