    Quoted from JakeFAttie:

    I'm surprised there hasn't been some new physical thing to replace the knocker, like a siren or flashing strobe; anything that says "I won!" even louder than a knocker... But yeah it also seems a reflection of the times as more machines go into private collection and location play (and winning that free game) becomes less relevant.

    I do like the two games I have with bells (black knight and game show). Not for free games though.

    Quoted from PanzerFreak:

    I really hope automakers stop selling cars with windshield wipers and headlights. They need to save money and have higher profit margins. The great thing is my car will be lighter giving me better gas mileage. Also, if I need them I can just go to the dealer and buy them as $500 add ons.
    *Said no one ever.

    If we're really going to go the carguement route, a better comparison would be how auto mfgs have stopped installing cigarette lighters and ash trays on new cars.
