    Quoted from Pintucky:

    Hell, back in MY day a game was 5 cents and you got 5 balls. Talkin' about the 1950's here.

    Amen . . . back in the day when men were men and women still wore bras . . . it was 5 cents for 5 balls. And when you got 'bored' you could pump up another ball for a little multiball action (blasphemy!). Then 5 balls for 10 cents. The slide was full on after that . . . every new transition was WTF but you just digging deeper for the coins to play.

    Whenever I play a game with 5 balls it puts a little smile on my face . . . I guess I'm just old school.

    3 ball or 5 ball you know you're playing either way . . . the man with the key sets the game his way.
