Well today I was in this arcade room ( Pretty Fun ) and I was playing this game where u build up blocks starting out with 3 blocks and the object of the game is to stack the blocks straight up in a row…There are 2 types of prizes, Minor Prize ( which usually has cheap stuff like candy or stickers ) & A Major Prize( which has all the good stuff like Nintendo DS or A now GameBoy Advance SP)…. While I was playing I got so close to winning, but I missed the last block like probably 5 in a row and now I’m starting to think that the game is programmed to scam people to let them think they’re winning, but in the end they wasted a whole dollar like me ( I actually wasted 5 good dollars ).. Any Info on whats happening????

I want to download/save some fun arcade like games for my son for his computer but I am having no luck finding any on the internet.
He doesn’t have a cd rom on his computer but just a floppy disk.
Any ideas?
Thanks
My sons computer doesn’t have an internet connection– its in his room.
The family computer has internet and this is where I would download/save a game from to give to him for his room computer.

I grew up with these classics. Today’s games make these oldies look quite lame graphics-wise, but they were amazing in their day. I mastered Asteroids to the point where I could play for hours on one quarter. I had the free ships lined right across the top of the screen from player one to – off the screen to the right! once when I played for over 7 hours! Missile Command could be mastered because after 810,000 it would give you 6 cities after every round – where each round would only destroy 3. This was an apparent glitch in the programming and I had a few arcade operators unplug the game on me when this happened! Fun times back then!

I work at a family fun center and it makes me miserable but I can’t seem to find another job. I’m sick of fixing arcade games, running bumper cars and finding peoples golf balls that they loose when playing mini golf. Does anyone else out there work at a similar place like maybe Chuck. E. Cheese or something of that nature and **** it?
Yes! There are lots and lots of rude people, when your getting yelled at by them all day its not fun!

I’ve been playing Mame for about two years now and the more games I play from my youth, the more I realize how brutally difficult they are and I’m just not having any fun anymore. Is this normal?

I mean, it takes me something like 30+ continues to complete a beat-em-up such as Final Fight, The Simpsons or TMNT 1 & 2. I know these games were made with the intent in taking our quarters as fast as possible, but most of them are unrealistic. I can barely get past the fourth or fifth opponent in 2D fighters like Mortal Kombat 2 or Killer Instinct and I’ve been playing games my entire life.
I don’t wanna lower each game’s difficulty setting as that would cheapen the experience for me. Does any of this make sense? Am I the only one finding every single different game I play to be brutally frustrating when just set to the “normal” difficulty setting?
