Awesome. I could watch stuff like this all day.

This was on TFD a month ago.

I have spent whole days watching these things.

Xexi: This was on TFD a month ago.

Well, I wasn't on TF a month ago, so that would explain why I haven't seen it.

Old and repeated, but a classic nonetheless.

/pitagora suuichi

i haven't seen this version before, with the magnets and the um, thing falling on the other thing.

I wish I knew what the Japanese woman was saying every time.

This is Marble Madness:



I remember playing this, beating it for the first time (apparently first time ever on the machine)... and getting assaulted by those screaming digital guitars as it blasted out about 10 times its normal volume. Everybody in the arcade (actually a pizzeria arcade, a ripoff of Chuck E. Cheese in the 80s) looked to see what happened.

Was that at a Showbiz?

"I wish I knew what the Japanese woman was saying every time."

She's saying pitagora suuichi, which means Pythagoras Switch, Rube Goldberg machine goes over better with the US crowd though.

Abroz: Was that at a Showbiz?

It was a purely local place... kind of a funny story behind it too. The owner and his brother were local "kingpins" of a sort, owning liquor stores and a rather infamous night club (infamous because it was very popular and often got busted for serving under age). Their dealings were rather shady (a friend who worked there once had to deliver a grocery bag of money to a doorstep, and just leave it there), and the owner didn't really have a sense of humor. Me and my friends had a couple of clashes with him, not because we were being smart asses, but just because we were having friendly fun.

Many thanks!

Goddamn Gooey Sewer Cheese.

That game always made me break the directional pad on my controllers.

You can get full episodes of this, Pythagoras Switch, at Dattebayo...

That's some good stuff. It's a departure from the dominos theme. The game, not the pizza. The pizza's always a good theme.
