The game needs to come with coin mechs. Arcade games that don't have coin mechs are not arcade games. Pins and video games without coin mech are worth significantly less in almost every single instance than their coin operated counterparts. Part of why people like these things is because they are commercial arcade games. I won't buy a pin without working coin mechs because that is part of the experience. Deposits were taken for a fully working commercial pin. To ship without would be fraud.

Why is it so hard to put a working coin mech in it?

#222 9 years ago
Quoted from Rarehero:

Do you know what a coin mech is? It's not missing a coin SLOT or a coin DOOR! If you want to route the game, you pop the mech in. The game is still a coin operated machine and still an arcade game.
One more time kiddies....THIS IS A COIN MECH:

Then why don't they include it? Is the software compatible? Is the plug out connector compatible? If it was just your pictured coin mech not included then why when you pay 8 grand for a game a $20 part is not included? Bottom line is why doesn't this overpriced remake have a working coin door?

Quoted from Rarehero:

You're deflecting. You're super mad about this and you don't even know what a coin mech is or how it functions. It's just the thingie that the coin falls through. You literally pop it in. There are no connectors. It has nothing to do with the plug out connector or software. It's a standard part of a standard Happ coin door. Yes, I understand this is a thread about being pissed about it missing....but for fuck sake, at least understand what you're mad about.

Hilarious. Who's deflecting? I know what a coin mech is and your condescending nature is douchy to be sure, yet you have deflected and defended ppr without addressing the issue. If it is just a question of popping in a $20 part then why is it so hard for pps to deliver a working commercial coin operated pinball machine? I know you blew $8k on one of these and you have a hard on for this Rick guy, so you are naturally defensive in a way like panzer is with WOZ, but seriously? And I'm not super mad, so much as I'm mildly perturbed. Now go get your shine box.

Quoted from generica:

After reading this thread in full I only have two questions:
-what exactly is a coin mech?
- are they included in MMR? It would be kind of weird if they weren't, right guys?

Coin mechs are the things that make a coin operated arcade game a commercial coin operated arcade game. Without them it is not a commercial coin operated arcade game but rather a game strictly for home use, like a zizzle or Sterns "The Pin".

#552 9 years ago
Quoted from Rarehero:

It wasn't intended directly at that post…yes, it was rational but still playing off the multitude of irrational posts. My "insane" comment was generally directed at the "not coin op" crowd.

A coin op game in 2 easy steps.
1. Put coins into the game at which point game credits are registered
2. Press start and play game

As delivered MMr will be incapable of step 1.

Therefore, logical deduction would follow.....

#617 9 years ago
Quoted from Rarehero:

Wrong.
Zizzle and The Pin do not have coin slots. They are absolutely incapable of accepting coins for coin-op use.
This game has a commerical Happ coin door with coin slots. It's capable of accepting coins for coin-op use. Why is this so hard to comprehend?

I assume it's so difficult to comprehend because like you said, I went "full retard".

So how will panzer, I mean rare hero defend pps when they announce this things not coming out until next year?

#641 9 years ago
Quoted from Nilroc:

It would be nice to hear some type of update from Rick himself.
It has been well over a month since last update.
They do have all the money now.
Just to know if they are on schedule or behind schedule .
Not too much to ask.

They are behind schedule, that much is clear.

#665 9 years ago
Quoted from Rarehero:

Really? You're putting the frenzy on me? Nice. I'm not the one freaking out about coin-mechs. Remember what this thread is about - and remember I'm in the "I don't care" category.

You keep telling yourself that. Keep giving all the thumbs down. You might just break the record for most given in a thread. Serenity now.

#678 9 years ago
Quoted from Rarehero:

I'm just going to remove myself from this irrational discourse.
I'll come back when my game arrives and I'll be happy to tell you if the flippers, legs, translight, harnesses, etc are missing...I'm sure you're totally right, I bet I'll open the box and there won't even be a game in there.

From more than 4 days ago. Hahaha.

Quoted from Rarehero:

Yup. I'm a blithering idiot.

I think I hate pinball now. .

Sorry to hear about your hate of pinball.
