Ok, here's an interesting discussion I've wanted to do for awhile. What are your thoughts on rulesets and how deep they have become? Do you think you should have to study 20+ pages of instructions in order to fully-enjoy what a pinball machine has to offer? Do you think competitive pinball has evolved from a game of mostly skill, to a game of mostly knowledge and who has more money and resources? Here are some items to discuss debate - let's take it to comments! And as always, much appreciated if you subscribe and hit like and all that stuff! PinballHelp.com

0:32
getting so complicated
0:34
uh
0:36
is this good or bad let's talk about it
0:38
now
0:39
the game that I've got featured here is
0:41
uh Godzilla which I think is a great
0:44
example
0:45
um I love this game but this game's rule
0:48
set is insane it's got so much stuff
0:51
going on and it may not even be
0:53
the deepest rule set of any pinball
0:55
machine but it's a great representation
0:57

0:58
games that's out there right now and

of evolved you know originally it was
1:33
just these uh mechanical tabletop games
1:36
where you chewed a ball into like a
1:37
little cup where there was pins and it
1:39
was 300 points or whatever and you added
1:41
it up it's always been about scoring
1:43
points but the early days
1:46
you know
1:48
