Have you ever actually played an electro-mechanical (pre-digital) arcade game? How was it? Did you win?
>>12474363I played one that was about killing gooks in Nam. It was pretty cool and fun to play but way too easy. It was more about getting a high score than "winning" I guess but not having any frame of reference/lose condition stripped some of the fun from it
>>12474363bout tree fiddy on all counts
shit myself
It was a shooting gallery with a haunted house theme, wasn't a tetrible experience but I preferred to play pinball.
a campground my family went to had a really old pinball table with analog score display. i dont remember what it was, possibly baseball themed. there was very little on the playfield compared to modern tables. still fun, but they also had T2 pinball.
>>12474363They used to have one or two at the arcade near me, They were fun for a short time....I recall they didn't feel very interactive compared to the other video games
>>12474363Besides Skee Ball / wack a mole the only Electo Mechanical game I remember enjoying was Ice cold beer.
One that I remember quite fondly was Simpsons' Cupcake Contest. Unfortunately there's next to no info about it online expect for a page on the Simpsons wiki that I did ages ago
>>12475548not my pic, but i have this thing in a box somewhere. funny they would do kind of a home port of it, but not the arcade game on 16 bit
My Chuck E. Cheese (now long gone) had a lot of stuff that was mechanical. Whack-a-Mole, clown cannons, labyrinth, those weird sorta pachinko-like games that used pinballs.I remember emptying the labyrinth machine in particular for tickets, as I was pretty good at it. Or just patient enough to finish it. I have never found a photo of it anywhere, or seen a machine like it since.
>>12475403>im twelve. im desperately trying to fit in
>>12475575Nevermind, found it. Awesome Rat. Sega machine from 1992.
>>12475596I remember this looking a lot more complicated.
we had pajatso machines in most supermarkets in Finland until they were discontinued in 2015. it's like pachinko but played with coins
>>12475580???
>>12474363Very early thing, only footage of someone playing i could find. Its very simple and its all analog from what i can tell. Very cool, all i cam think of personally was one of those mini slot machines that used to exist in grocery stores in the 90s in my country, my dad let me play a couple and i didn't know what was happening i just liked all the lights going off.https://youtu.be/Aw_N10xuv2Q
