That seriously worked? I always figured it was an urban myth.

the quarter trick worked (and works)

umm I remember playing pacman and bad dudes during saturday morning bowling. But I wasnt really an arcade nut until Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat. I owned a SF2 machine, a converted track and feild. I gave it to my buddy josh, and his mom put it out in the rain when she kicked him out of his house.

I still own an MKII cab with both MKII and UMK3 in it.
manman:
Lol- blasphemy for thinking mkII is better than umk3?!  Sorry, but I think it's the other way around... I agree that it's all opinion and to each his own, but I think with most fans of the arcade resurgence/2nd golden age (yes I know there was only 1 real golden age...haha), MKII is the star of the series.

I personally think there's a weird division there in the middle though... the Street Fighter era was not the mid to late 80s... sure sfI came out in 87, but the "street fighter era" pretty clearly started wth SFII.  MK, and most other fighting games that were popular in the next era you listed are all pretty much part of the "street fighter era"...they were there because of SF
Ginsu Victim:
Yeah, instead of Street Fighter, stuff like Shinobi, Rastan, Strider, Outrun, or Rygar would've been good to say.

It worked until they installed the Anti-Stringing Device (a blade to cut the string)  :banghead:

Always loved the PENNY trick to get Credits  >:D
