#100, I know what you mean. Seems like every dentists of the late 80's/early 90's had "free" arcades in the waiting room. Mine also got Popeye, this sucked.

#101, I remember once being in the office, and some kid was playing one of the games, it was a race game, like Pole Position, where there was a steering wheel in the game panel, and that was it. Well, the kid's turn was next, but he didn't want to stop playing, and he was quite good at it, so the old "well, when you crash, stop playing and come back" didn't work. SO the dentist came out, looked at the kid, said "you're pretty good" and with a big ol' smile on his face MASHED his foot down on the accelerator
THe kid made the next couple turns at full speed, but crashed on a hairpin turn he couldn't negotiate at 150mph :D

#104, In or abouts 1986, my dad bought, for pennies, the old pinball machine the pizzeria downtown was throwing away. The game was "Straight Shooter" from Bally, it was right out of the late 50's Wooden box and backboard, glass display, painted by hand. 5 cents per play, no auto ball launch, you had to push a lever to get a ball up from "storage" and then you could fire it with the plunger (not a button, one of those spring-loaded levers) And no sound effects except a bell that went off from time to time, and a buzzer if you tilted. Most of the "in game sound effects" were the electrical contacts shutting on relays as you hit things that upped your score. WE still have it, though it broke down years ago

#106, Then, in the 90's he got his hands on a "high speed" pinball machine. The one that had the rotating gumball cop car light on the top of it? Maybe you remember it? We still have it too, but it's likewise in need of repairs, and low on the list
It was one of the first to use synthesized sound effects (police sirens, radio chatter, car skids and crash noises) And had a multiball feature, before it became standard for most machines to have one

#108, Straight Shooters' buzzer would also go off if you hit the right targets to activate the "Bonus round" where everything you hit was worth double, but it was so teeth-rattling loud and annoying, sometimes I'd deliberately ditch the ball just to shut it up
Another neat feature was that one of the lights in the playfield itself was broken, and only the empty socket was left, sometimes, your ball would fall into that hole, and you had to finesse it out without tilting the machine :D

I've been into the 80s video games lately - you can get those '5-games' in one joysticks that use 4-AA batteries. Look and play just like the originals - Pole Position, Galaga, Pac-Man, Ms. Pacman, Xevious, Galaxian... my son loves 'em...
