PENNY ARCADE PHOTOS

[SPURR]

Here's a Penny Arcade story . Me and a couple of mates playing pins in the arcade at Luna park when I found the pin I was playing as much as I shook it it wouldnt tilt. So we had turns at one guy on the left side of the pin the other guy on the right side of the pin. When it looked like going down the guts the guy's would lift up the front of the pin and save the ball from going down. After a few free games this huge guy that worked there approached us and escorted us all to the front door and said " Now f**k OFF you are all banned

Another trick (on some machines) As the score wheels were resetting,flick the power point switch on & off & the score would stop at youre desired score -great for adding some credits.

Hehehehe there's always someone to ruin "Free Fun" aint there??

I remember a night with a mate in a Kew pub, it was a quiet night (tue?) only about 6 people in the whole pub, and the seperate pool room was empty, so we pumped $1 into the table and played a game, and noticed later that the table hadn't been locked, so we could lift up one end of the table-top, and sneak a hand into the coin detection to relaunch the next set of balls.

I think we played 50+ FREE games that night, only to have it ruined by some backpacker knobend, who decided to watch us play a few games over drinks, but then run to the bar and report it.....

The manager returned and locked up the table, and suggested "we've had enough games for the night" please return to the bar or leave.

Damn Backpacker Hippies, they're only good for testing bullets on.....

Oh the memories!

We used to take drinking straws and take a mouthful of water (or Coke etc) and place the drink straw down the coin entrance. Once in place we would then blow the water down the straw slowly and keep doing that until the contact for the coin would be soaked. That would complete the circuit and we would then kick the door and it would add credits. So if a game like Bally's Star Trek it would pop 40 times until it maxed out on credits.

We would start to worry when this happened - especially when there was a pool of water under the front of the game from the water that was coming from the coin return
