>that one hotshot friend who would just run up the ramp to put the balls in the high points holes

>>2924792
My buddy played baseball and he just railed them into the holes.

BALL

>finding the craziest ways to launch em
still do actually

>>2924792
>>2924793
A lot of places around here have the machines with the cage panels in front to prevent cheating, so I just experiment with launching them as hard as I can a bouncing them at different angles.

>>2924786
I used to be good enough to put every ball into the 100 pt hole.

Unfortunatly, I haven't played in several years and am out of practice.

>tfw no room at home for an air hockey table

That one game where it's a circle with a dome on top and you press a button trying to land the light on your tile.

I'm really bad at describing things.

>>2924786
I remember finding 20-some tokens in the coin return slot for one of these. The machine was broken and the slot was hidden underneath it. So I guess people would put a coin in and walk away when it didn't work.

I remember a machine at a local arcade that was a black jack game, you rolled a ball across the top and it would land in the whole for a number, your goal being to add to 21 of course. I can't remember the machine's name and I can't find any pics of it.

mah nigga!

altought i used some a smaller whell that seemed fabricated for this activity as it had no spokes or slots for them, and a hard rubber outside, this bike rim with its traversal concavity would seem easily maneuvered with a wood pole that fits inside of it...

god, we do get anal about retarded details on even the simplest forms of entertainment as we get old..

yeah yeah pole-wheel ( or whatever its called in english), so simple and super fun!

im gona do this next family holyday with my cousins and our children

>>2924792
It's also fun to just steal the balls

>>2926670
>being a dick and ruining it for everybody
get hit by a car soon

Most mainstream arcades today are full of godawful gimmicky crap and that one Galaga/Ms. Pac-man cabinet in the corner.

But air hockey, wooooooo boy never gets old.

>>2926680
air hockey is truly the game of kings

>>2926678
It's just white boy suburban petty vandalism.

In my neighborhood kids would ride around and chuck bricks through glass storefronts for fun. Because of that cops would go around checking every kid's backpack.

>But air hockey, wooooooo boy never gets old.
>>2926683

I don't know why but I used to laugh like crazy while playing, and even more so when the disc would fly out of the table and into some dark corner behind another cabinet.

Shit was crazy, I guess it just hit a special nerve in me. Truly a 10/10 for me

Shit was the best way to get easy tickets. Was fun with three homies.

>>2926691
My local arcade had one. If I needed to round out my tickets for that sweet-ass prize, it was my go to.

>>2926691
I think most Dave and Nutbusters have them.

We've got one of these at my local Dave&Buster's. First time I saw it, I played a round, did mediocre. Had a lot to drink, came back, stared at it, my wife asked me what I was doing, I told her to wait a second and started tapping rhythmically on the machine, counting the time. She asked me again what I was doing. I ignored her and breathed hard on the glass and did some simple arithmetic, checked my work, swiped my card, hit the jackpot 2 times with 5 disks (1 play). It's still my go-to for tickets. The 3 sides aren't evenly spaced, but 2 are. Just gotta figure which ones. I actually go to D&B's for small appliances now. Tickets flow like water.

>>2926780
I didn't think it was necessary to clarify. It was the ghetto.

Pork and Beans, North Miami to be specific.

Go to hell. Stealing the balls from skeeball is awful.

Yea, I totally did it too, but only once and only to make another game. Got one of the hardwood balls, not the plastic ones. We used to play a violent version of hackisack/four-square with it on the blacktop in middle school. Ever have someone kick a hardwood ball into your shin? Fucking hurts and knocks you out of the game.

Used to play this a lot at another arcade near my house. It was like skeeball, but with vertical hoops instead of holes and rails. I found out early on that if you played with a strong side-spin and a centered bowl, every shot would hit 100, 40, or roll the ball back to you down the ramp.
