Steve Ritchie Speaks (again)

<< < (7/7)

Xiaou2:
 One reason I didnt get into pinball too much as a kid, was because I sucked at it,
and didnt know why.  Basically, I had no understanding of all the tricks that you
need to have a decent length game.   Sometimes the ball just robbing me completely
in mere seconds.

 When I grew up, I saw some bumping going on, but I never really understood how
to use it.   I also didnt know things like the Flipper pass:



 As well as many other such tricks.

 Things like this shown in video form, on the backglass lcd, would incite people to
try them... keep from getting their spirits crushed, and give them a goal to work
towards.

 The old timers may know these things... but the young guns just never have been
round when Pinball was merely all about bumping and tricks.

Just for the record, 'bumping' or 'shaking' a pinball manipulatively while you it play is known as JUKING the game to us 'old' guys and it IS an ART.
