Title: Some kids I don't even know hated me back in the early 80's because of this
Post by: theking on December 03, 2019, 06:06:15 PM
Back when Galaga was very popular back in the 80's, I can play it for at least 1 hour or more with one token/quarter at places like Golfland or at a neighborhood small store. I became so good that I can play all the way until I maxed out the score and recycles the game. Some kids would put their token/quarter on the arcade machine indicating that they got next but just ended up getting frustrated because the wait was too long. I recently played again and was able to duplicate what I did as a kid after a couple of tries ...still got it ;D (And oh, one tip, if you're going to take pictures, do it right after the challenge stages as it gives you a couple of seconds before the next stage is ready  O0):

You are on a whole another level.  I call it mentally gifted cuz them games are mentally challenged that not a lot of people can achieve. 

My azz would get 2 ships side by side just to missed a bunch in the 1st bonus round.  Another time, when the ship would be carried on top of that one bug, my azz would shoot my own ship instead. 

Video game is not for me.  Atari pacman is another story.  Video pin ball is my love.  One crane is always up while the other one is down is my style.  I can hold the ball to take a break at will with pinball.  I also like the fact that it is like gambling like when you already exhausted your 3 balls and die, there is a match at the very end.  Like a lotto, if the random number generator number matches the last 2 digits of your final score, you won another credit.  It is the popping sound if it hits that I so loved the most.  It sounds like someone takes a ruler and smack real hard on wooden floor. 

Also, I would and still do now by walking passed them pinball machines and looking at the credits.  People sometimes put in more quarters than needed to play so extra credits are there but once done, they just leave.  It is here that I jump right in for the free games. 

Ghetto style, I know.

I take it a step further.  While growing up, I already had the mind of an engineer.   I would go to the local bowling alley and they would have their arcade room.  Most bowling alley also has a cafe diner.  You get there early and you hit the cafe and borrow or steal their metal knife silverware.  You go look into the trash can and you will find a used pack of smoke.  you strip it into the size of a juicy fruit gum.  Now you place that strip onto the coin slot horizontally and with your knife, you push it deep enough where it is hidden but not too far that it would fall down with the coins.  Then you go home and come back a few hours.  People would put their quarter into the slot and it would get stuck.  Pushing the return button doesn't work either because the paper has lodge the hole of the coin slot.  They don't just put one coin, they would put another, in thinking that the second coin would somehow make the first one drop in. 

You go back with the same butter knife and while pushing the return coin slot button, you insert your butter knife and you shake it violently.  Some coins will go into the game and gives you free game but do it right and all them coins will fall out like a jackpot machine.

There you have it.  If you ever become homeless and need a way to eat, try this and don't get caught.  Love it when that coin slot is so full with coins that it is super full.  Probably about $5 worth. 

That string on the coin trick, I used that method at all stops when I took the greyhound bus from cali to mn that one year.  Gotta play free games on down time while waiting for our next connection.  An added bonus is a story to be told as an arcade gamer be pulling crimes in every states from cali to mn cuz them buses I tell ya, it stopped so many and throughout.  When younger, we did it for the experiences.  Now that I'm older and wiser, my time is too important to be wasted on them buses.

I spent quite a few quarters/tokens before getting to that level...becaus e that was my favorite arcade game growing up...Number 2 favorite was Pac-Man, then Centipede, then Frogger, then Karate, then Joust, then Donkey Kong, then Pole Position... check out the awesome graphics of Pole Position back in the days...;D

you are such a liar! A string on a coin does not work nor does smashing a nickel to make it wider so your claim is a complete lie and now.. You'll have to 1, search Google to try to find out if there's any info to support your lie and when you can't find any you'll have to 2, backtrack and claim you meant something else when you made that bogus claim.

A string on a coin works.  You just use tape and maybe a strong thread.   Even if I can set you up with the contraption, you might not be able to do it.  It took me tries after tires with different machines to learn the evolution of those machines.  Them older machines were easier and the skill set is in the hand of the person like a trade.  You can't go too deep or it will go down like a coin and you can't go too shallow or nothing will work.  It is at that right moment where you can feel it spot cuz them credits be flipping and what not. 

They got smarter.  String coining was getting too popular so newer machines added what I called a cutter cuz anytime I would try it, it would cut my string and not even giving me my 1 credit either.

My crooked co workers back in them days went high tech.  He ran into this guy who had a molding device and so they would make metals the same circumference and weight of a quarter.  They did bags and bags filled with them and took it to vegas to cheat.  Like put counterfeit in and cash out real quarters style.  He said it did not work.  He said non of them casinos would work.  Did not get caught either.    :2funny:

You may want to read that article again. It clearly stated that video game manufacturers put string cutters into the mechanisms in the 80's and that's why the string on a coin does not work.  Are you going to claim that you were playing these video games in the 70s now.

also did the tape half the dollar trick and as soon as it goes halfway into the soda slot, you yank it back out fast and you would get a free soda plus 50 cents.   What year was it when soda machine was only 50 cents a pop?

Here are some information and link about the two methods I've brought up  ;D:

How to play the arcade machines for free
Posted: November 29, 2010 in Uncategorized
Tags: arcade machines, free, lie, quarters, stealing

Ever go to the arcades and wish you could play for free. Have you ever been caught playing that last level of the Simpsons game and you run out of quarters.  Or your just a cheap bastard like me and hate paying for those guzzling quarter machines.

Here are two ways I’ve been able to defeat these machines and save my petty change. Note: Both ways require you use a arcade machine that takes in quarters and not those token exchange arcade machines.

Method #1  Tie a string to a quarter

Take a quarter and a drill.  Drill a hole into the quarter. Then run a fishline through the hole and tie it.  Go to the arcade machine and put the quarter in. When the game is over is over pull the quater out and play again.

Pros: Cost nothing.  Quarter is reusable.
Cons: Easier to get caught cause you got a fishing line hooked to you. Also, this technique doesnt work on all machines.

Method #2  Make a quarter

Take a bunch of nickels.  Then take a hammer and smash them into the size of a quarter. It takes a little work but I’ve found these nickel quarters to work on all machines that take quarters.

Pros: Works on most machines and has almost no risk of getting caught.
Cons: You gotta spend some time pounding out quarters and you lose 5 cents a play.
And there you have it kids, free play time at the quarter machine. Leave me a comment if you guys got a better way to do this

And here are some info about how they finally caught on and develop a way to stop the stealing as I've also mentioned  ;D:

Characters inserting a tied coin into a coin-operated device and then pulling the coin out with the string to get a free item or service from the machine. However, this trope also extends toward other things.

Later in the 1980s, when video game arcade operators realized that people were doing this, manufacturers started putting a string cutter into the coin mechanism. If you tugged back to try to hit the switch again, the string would cross the cutter and be severed by it, thus capturing the coin and preventing its reuse by the crooked customer. In modern times, coin-operated machines simply have a one-way ratchet, preventing the return of any coin once it has passed the counting mechanism.

Didn't have to say where it was placed.  I was there in the 80's when the first arcade opened up across the street from my house.  I watched them test it with the door opened.  There was a latch that the coin hits when it goes through to give credit for the quarter.  The latch closes behind the coin so you couldn't pull it back.  Which means anyone who says they were able to use strings to get their quarter back was LYING.

More lies from THEKING of lies.  holes drilled in those coins were not used for the purpose of getting free credits in arcades.  Every hmong person knows we drill holes in coins so we can string them onto Hmong clothes.  ;D ;D 

So here's the king of lies trying to show pictures of coins with holes in it to convince people that these coins were used to get free credits in arcade machines.  You can't dig yourself out of a hole, bra.  Keep piling on more lies.  It makes you look worst each time. ;D ;D

Not quite accurate.  Base upon my experiences, yes there is something in there that if you put it too deep, it will trap your coin.  Coining for credits is like sex.  You got to know where her zone is to get that credit and when you hit it, you keep it there and wiggle your coin so you can get more credits.  If you lose your quarter, it is still good cuz you gained lots of credits.  Sometimes you can get your credits and get your coin back by pushing the return button inward.  If it is an arcade like no one is watching it like some laundry mat, I would just tape the string onto the arcade machine itself but if it is at a place that has employees present, I would get credit the most sneakiest ways and try to get my quarter back for the win or just loose quarter. 

So for theking sake, it DEPENDS   :2funny:

Street fighter was not very popular (probably late 80's so NO, string on a coin would definitely not work).  It didn't get popular till SF II came out.  Now that was the game to play.  No one knew of Street Fighter but SF II took off and started a whole fighting game genre craze.

I see someone is foaming hard this time...No different than Trump and his fellow member of their narrow minded ignorant clique, BNM..Even with proof that people used to use those method to steal arcade credit, the YAK still lies like Trump and make things up like BNM...Yep, same LIAR that cried "ignore" but lie to himself by crawling back because he's worthless like his worthless "lies"...

He even posted this to back up my point that in fact, people were stealing arcade credits with the coin/string and nickel tricks until arcade game operators caught on and then found a way to stop it but what do you expect from an EPIC FAIL that foams heavily by repeating his cycle of EPIC FAILs..and YES, HE DID POST THE BELOW QUOTE BUT STILL FAIL TO REALIZE THAT HE JUST BACKED UP MY POINT... :idiot2:  ;D:

The game was commercially successful in arcades. On the Coinslot charts, printed in the August 1988 issue of Sinclair User, Street Fighter was the top dedicated arcade game.

The arcade version was well received. Tony Thompson of Crash, in its October 1987 issue, said it "breathes new life" into martial arts games, with a "huge" cabinet, "big" characters, pads where "the harder you hit the pads the harder your character hits", and "secret techniques". In its January 1988 issue, Julian Rignall and Daniel Gilbert said "it adds a new dimension with pneumatic punch buttons" and the action is "gratifying" with "great feedback from the buttons" but "there's very little to draw you back" after the novelty wears off. Clare Edgeley of Computer and Video Games, in its December 1987 issue, said it had "huge" sprites, "among the most realistic" characters, and "intense" action, but requires mastering the controls, including punches, kicks, stoop kicks, flip kicks and backward flips. She said "the competition is intense" and the deluxe version "is much more fun. Sinclair User awarded the game a maximum and claiming it was "one of the games of the year", while Computer and Video Games said it had "no lasting appeal whatsoever".

But before the arcade video operators found out about that flaw in the late 80's, people were able to "use strings to get their quarter back" for years starting from the early 80's and you even posted this quote to back up that fact:

Therefore, you're the one that's "LYING"...if you claimed people couldn't do that until the flaw was discovered "later in the 1980s"... :idiot2: ;D

So for theking sake, it DEPENDS   :2funny:

I don't think his narrow minded ignorant behavior can't allow him to see other variables...I mean you made him poop in his pants and now the quote he posted actually backed up my point that the coin string trick did happened so his "lies" and ignorance are blowing up in his face left and right. This is the quote he posted so going by that quote, if people weren't able to use the coin string trick to steal credits, why would arcade game manufacturers need to find a way to prevent it  :idiot2: ;D:

Later in the 1980s, when video game arcade operators realized that people were doing this, manufacturers started putting a string cutter into the coin mechanism

But before the arcade video operators found out about that flaw in the late 80's, people were able to "use strings to get their quarter back" for years starting from the early 80's and you even posted this quote to back up that fact:

Go back and see when your game was released.  Then realize your lies don't hold up to factchecking.

RUAM as usual by continuing to repeat his heaving foaming EPIC FAIL ignorant cycle but NOT surprised to see his points blow up in his face time and time again...I mean he can't even abide by his words, "ignore" after I made him cry so NOTHING new... ;D:

I know the "LYING" YAK won't comprehend what the year "1981" is but it's part of the ***early*** 80s..Which also back up the facts that I presented... ;D O0
