Ski-Ball took most of my money at the arcade as a kid. I remember once my friends mom giving us 50 bucks to spend for a day at the mall and besides 2 sodas out of a vending machine the rest went to games in the arcade.
About 40 bucks for Ski-Ball and we had soooo many tickets! We filled a whole backpack and our pockets and then just had the rest in our clenched fists...then we exchanged all those tickets for candy and made my friends mom the happiest person in the world dealing with us.

Ski ball was definitely a good choice to waste money on. It might not have had the longevity that a game of pinball had, but something about rolling those balls and aiming for those top corner holes was really fun. I actually have an uncle that has a skiball machine in his basement, and even with no tickets it's still fun to play.
And how much did most of those prize stands absolutely suck? Spend $20 on games, win something that probably cost $2 at most.
The last time I went to an arcade was a little over a year ago with the rest of the NJX crew for WrestleMania weekend and we went to Dave and Busters. It was a pretty good time and I did win a pretty decent amount of tickets, but I gave them all away to a little kid right before we left. I knew I wasn't going back to D&B's anytime soon, and I knew that there wasn't anything at the prize stand that I even remotely wanted for the amount of tickets I had, so I figured I'd give them to a kid that would be happy to exchange them for a train whistle or ball in a cup toy or some shit.
You're such a sweetheart J.

Oh yeah prizes always suck. I still go to the arcade with my buddies once in awhile but now we just win a bunch of tickets then give them to a little kid.
There is only 1 game that really pays out and its one where you hit a button and a ball drops and wherever it lands is how many tickets you win, 2 of my buddies and I spent 40 on that and had like 400 tickets so we put them in the machine that counts them and gives you a piece of paper saying how many you had then I saw some kid wearing a punk shirt and handed it to him.
I think the kid like died when he saw how many tickets he now had.

I love going to arcades.
The nearest arcade to me that is not just one arm bandits or other gambling machines also has pool and snooker tables on top of arcade games like X-Men etc, racing games, ticket games and claw games. Was the only place that I considered going for my last birthday (didn't go as my friends have no funny bones left).
Last time I went there, I won a colossal bar of Dairy Milk chocolate.

Wouldn't have expected Nightcrawler to be the top pick. It's good to see that you guys know that Colossus is fools gold, though. As a kid, my rational for picking him was "he's the strongest," but the game designers clearly hadn't read as many X-Men comics as I had. Being the squared-away, take charge leader that I am, I will use Cyclops and exhaust my optic blasts before getting beaten unmercifully by lizard men in purple tights.
Right? People don't even know how nice I am.
Getting candy sounds pretty cool though. I'd dig that.
And he still only got a teddy bear.

Most of the arcades here, the ones that are left anyway, have air hockey, maybe pool (but probably not because people will be assholes and take the balls and sticks), and a few other table games. Most arcades don't even have games that give tickets anymore, instead electing to go with those driving games or shooting games with the guns. Granted, those games are the prettier ones that have more to offer, but the ticketed games often have more of a competitive nature about them since something is on the line.
Actually, I think the funnest game at Dave and Busters was this competitive trivia game that I played with IC and D-Man. My favorite moment came when we got an incredibly easy question, "In what century did the US land on the moon?" and D-Man selected the 16th century.

I used to love that game, it's so bad it's good. Especially what limited voiceover they had.
I had the X-box 360 version. Of course I don't have an X-Box console anymore so I can't play it.

Any of you ever play Simpsons Hit and Run? That game was insane.
It took me like 20 attempts to beat the final mission.

I AM MAGNETO! MASTER OF MAGNET! AH HAHAHAHAHA!
I don't know if I'd say it's so bad it's good, but it definitely is a very simple game that just fulfills all your basic gaming needs. Mash buttons, do something cool, kill bad guys.
Yeah, I actually really liked that game simply because it was pretty funny and all the characters had cars that corresponded to their characters. It was also kind of cool being able to drive around Springfield. I only ever played it at friends' houses, though.

Oh it's legendary. That's what I was thinking about when I said that.
And even some of the text was poorly translated.
Oh, and JGLASS YOU CHEATER, YOU WERE SPYING ON THE MEAN GREEN TEAMS SURVIVOR THREAD, YOU CHEATY McCHEATERTON!
I'm surprised nobody at any stage said, "Uh, guys? Yeah, this isn't even English." This is when it turns out the game was developed my Lithuanians.

Grand Theft Springfield! Loved that game. I only played it at my brother's place, because my PS2 was broken. I never made it to the final mission. I actually fished out the broken PS2 last year (my parents kept it all these years, God love 'em), followed some instructions on YouTube, and fixed the sumbitch. I'll have to make a note to find a copy of that game.
No, I just keep on clicking your thread by accident when I mean to click the blue team's thread. I haven't seen a single post of yours', honest!
Damn Lithuanians stealing programming jobs from hardworking American nerds.

Right. And people think I'm this real nice guy when actually I'm a dick.
That's not true at all.
Don't matter, it's true.
Yeah, you're a super swell dude. A guy with your beautiful beard and awesome voice would be a total waste if he were a dick.

KB was caught viewing our thread before. Just pointing it out.
Dude, good luck. I checked Amazon and the game is costing an arm and a leg these days because it's not being made anymore I assume. It was like 80 bucks for a PC version so I assume that'll be the price for XBOX or PS2.
But yeah the last mission is INSANE! You have to get from the power plant to the baseball field behind the school in like a minute with all the damn cars on the road so it's nearly impossible.
My favorite thing to do on the game was crash a bunch of cars in front of flanders house and run over random people on the street. Talking to Ralph in his backyard was fun too cause of the things he said.

Simpson's Road Rage, $23. Get it while it's hot.
I actually tried to sell a few PS2 games I own back to GameStop because they're about to stop taking them, but they wouldn't take any of them because they were too old or unwanted. Really, there's only one PS2 game that I want to own: Soul Calibur 2. Though having Marvel Ultimate Alliance in my collection isn't a bad thing either.
I get my charm from my parents, they raised me well I suppose.
Speaking of my voice, my friends want to do a podcast and I'm heavily considering joining them. We'd talk mostly about wrestling, but throw in things about sports and pretty much shoot the shit about life. Would be a total dude podcast. We sort of did a trial run type thing with a wrestling tournament off an ipod just to see how we liked it and what not. Still have to edit that, but I'm kind of excited about the possibilities.
I might listen to that when I'm playing video games or something. something being *********ing

I sold my PS2, 2 PS2 games and 3 Wii games to Gamestop a couple years ago and the only thing I wish I kept was the system so I could play Svr07 still.
I would have only gotten like 15 bucks but my friend said to use his powerup card and to get store credit. That made it go up to 28 and change....then my friend bought the giftcard off me for 40 bucks which I still don't understand.
