Pachinko is like pinball for people who suck at pinball.
Hard disagree. I'm pretty damn good at pinball and I used to own a pachinko machine. It's fun. It gives you that little burst of serotonin when it goes in the right hole and the bells and sirens go off and a bunch more pachinko balls end up in the tray.
I don't have room for it today, but I miss it. I wish I had room for a pinball table. I even know the exact one I want- Funhouse. I kick ass at Funhouse. Plus, I love getting into an insult-slinging contest with the little ventrilquist dummy.
I really want a Safe Cracker machine, myself. There was a local restaurant in my small town growing up that had one and would reward you with a gold token every million points that could be redeemed for a large 1 topping pizza.
I ate so much pizza off just a few quarters. 😋
A friend of mine just came to town and purchased this ticket machine a couple of weeks ago because "it was only $100."
He very excitedly texted me later to tell me it was full of tickets and tokens.
He'll add it to his multiple classic arcade cabinet, his two MAME cabinets, his sit-down driving cabinet and his large collection of classic consoles.
He also coded an NES game about 10 years ago for the fun of it. Even put it on a cartridge. Currently, he's working on a video pinball simulator in a pinball table format which will use rumble to simulate the feel of things like the ball hitting the flipper.
I have cool, weird friends. Some of them who have way too much disposable income.
