OldTerrapin Posted October 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 I was a master of Donkey Kong though.. DK machine had a design flaw where you could slip a straw thought the hinge on the front door and trigger the credits up. Once you learned the technique you could do it fast. We used to go to the big arcade at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk where they had like 6 DK machines lined up and run some credits up and sell them to the tourist kids for whatever we could get on the dollar. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play for a penny, pop a bunch of high score games, sell them to a tourist lolol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
