    Quoted from MrWizzo:

    .... it made someone else feel when you had stacked a bunch of credits on a game and offered them over because you had to leave or got tired of the game? I remember when finding credits on a game in an arcade was like winning the lottery. There was nothing better.

    I'm appalled.

    Of course owning the arcade I have a different view.

    You find a credit on a game ? Cool.

    Someone puts in 50¢ and plays a long time and leaves a bunch of games, and then someone finds them and does the same thing over and over until closing. Not so cool.

    Quoted from MrWizzo:

    Lloyd:

    what is the difference in me playing awarded games or giving them to someone else to enjoy? As the owner, you can make the games harder or limit the number of replays or monitor your games to Wipe Out left credits or set a no transfer of games policy, but does the objection you raise actually occur all that frequently? It wouldn't seem likely as I doubt you have your games set to three or four replay levels along with specials. The memory is about arcades in the seventies and eighties when it could happen. Don't know of any place where that could happen today. I guess back then it wouldn't be beneficial to the owner, but you seem to be objecting to memory than a present reality.

    Sorry, didn't mean to be objecting to anybodies memory.

    Llyod, if I seemed too aggressive in my response, please forgive me. Didn't mean to offend you; I was just digging into the exchange.

    Dan

    I didn't take your post as aggressive. And enjoy other points of view or exchanges of knowledge and information.

    Not being in the hobby, rather the industry end of things. I often have a totally different perspective on these threads. And they often conflict.

    We are all friends here and gathered in the name of pinball.

    Quoted from jimjim66:

    Winning a game by matching was always cool. Hearing the "pop" was awesome.

    Really awesome is four people all matching at the same time in an EM.

    You know something great just happened.
