Back in 1978 or 9, two mates and I (we're still best mates to this day) used to skip class and go and play at a local arcade. The game of choice was Time Warp (and that's why that was my first pin purchase years ago). I had an affinity for that game, banana flippers and all, for some reason. None of us had any money to speak of, so with 20c in hand I'd play through to collect the three games you got on the way to high score, then try and do what Dean said, add up the bonus and drop it to keep within the current HS and clocking. Over the year that window got smaller and smaller, until near the end it was sitting at about 998,000 odd and just about impossible to make. I love that memory though, a fun time when the biggest problem (apart from how long it would be before getting laid next) was not clocking Time Warp!
Great times they were !!
this line brought up fantastic memories "I love that memory though, a fun time when the biggest problem (apart from how long it would be before getting laid next) was not clocking Time Warp! "
How good were those days.... ( sorry to hijack the thread )
 OK back on track  :lol
