My only real evil one was on Popeye. This only seemed to work with popeye, but if you flicked a penny in correctly it would register. I got pretty good at it and would have people coming up to me in the arcade and giving lessons. Only thing was I got sick of Popeye really quick. Finally got busted at a water park's arcade. My Popeye stealing days were over. |

I got the 'trick' to beat you all :) I remember there was this one skating rink that my friends Grandparents owned and me and him would go hang out there and skate and play in the arcade and stuff. And I remember we figured out one day that if you skate around on the arcade floor it builds up static electricity! So we would skate around for a minute or two and then we would skate up to this one machine (I think it was Joust maybe) and we would touch it someplace where it was metal, like the coin door or something and we would get shocked. But at the same time the screen did something kinda wierd and glitchy. The graphics started to get temporarily garbled when we would do this. And then after doing that a couple times we realized that right when the screen starts to get garbled we could start pressing the control panel buttons as fast and furiously as possible and the screen would get more and more messed up and it would start making more noises until finally it would just 'take a dump' and the machine would reset! It was so funny and such a wierd freaky thing. I don't know how we ever figured out something so wierd :) |

Not exactly arcade related, but when I was in the Navy we found that specific Pepsi machines would "jackpot" if you pushed 2 specific pop selection buttons repeatedly after putting your money in. You could almoost empty the machine with a couple of dolars. |
