Which games have the clearest objectives for children/beginners?

[solar value]

Hi all,

I think what I really like about Pinbot is that the aim of the game is very clear and easy to explain to children and beginners. Hit the coloured targets to fill up the grid of lights on the robot's chest and you will open his visor, then lock 2 balls in his eye sockets to start multiball.

Something to ponder: What other games have you played where the rules are so clear and simple that they are almost instantly recognizable from the layout of the game itself?

Thanks, SV.

high speed 2, very simple and obvious rules to lock the balls and get multiball
loops inner or outer raise the rpm until they start the different modes

80's games with drop targets - everyone likes to knock the targets down

surprisingly my 2 nethews of 8 and 10 understood creature of getting FILM, though some tight shots and they had difficulty seeing some of the playfield due to there height

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles !   Great Game, easy for a novice to follow, or still heaps fun for a experienced player. NINJA NINJA.

Bugs Bunnys Birthday Ball ! Great Game, easy n fun, great cartoon audio, addictive for any kids or lovers of cartoons.

My friends who weren't pin-heads always loved Street Fighter II when I had it. We all loved the arcade game and the rules made sense in relation to the source material.

Giiligan's Island
collect the items- coconuts, shells, shrunken head, pineapples, turtle eggs, rope and bananas , give to Professor so he can mix the lava seltzer and then feed it to Kona the volcano allowing you try and collect the Island Treasure.
Simple but heaps of fun, best basher around and the volcano island rotisserie is a great mixer of shot speed to make it challenging enough for adults. My old man absolutely loves it and so do I

I have found EMs to be the easiest for kids. They love the chimes and the rolling score reels. DMDs have cluttered playfields and they can hardly see the ball, losing interest very quickly.
