14 4-5 year old boys at my sons birthday party today. They gave the pins a true hiding, and they took to them like ducks on water. Consider the attention span of a 5yrold boy :D, and they we mesmerised today. I say kids love them, but just dont get exposure to them.

And I'm hoping you were loving the attention the games were getting Sinbad!

I love it when kids come over and their eyes light up and they start bashing the balls around. (Although I do try and show them how to play without just flip flip flip - "Now wait for the ball...")

Mate I just relaxed and let em have fun. I did coach a couple of kids who were constantly flipping, but it was all good. I did turn Elektra off because the left top flipper stopped working. My son said when it happened he felt a surging feeling through the left flippers. Looks like I better pull the top flipper apart and investigate.
