None of my children are named BILL. If I want to play this game will I have to change the name of all my kids or will they accept other children?

The mechs are adjustable and swappable (to accept different species) as shown n these pics by BEGINSTUDIO and Generic Eric.   ::)

The skill of the person on the kiddie ride will not be relevant.

My thoughts exactly.  That late 90's "Star Wars Trilogy" game was like this.  There is no technique or skill involved; it's just "ooo, aaah, cool Star Wars graphics and sounds!"  Take away those things and there is absolutely nothing left.  Nowadays, those graphics aren't even impressive anymore, so that "game" is completely worthless in my opinion. 

A few weeks ago I played this great big Transformers arcade game when I found myself in a "ticket-spitter" arcade.  The game cost me about 5 tokens and it was absolutely horrible.  You just move these "crosshairs" around a screen and pull a trigger while a pre-scripted "movie" plays out.  I can't believe this is considered to be progress.
