Skee Ball. I don't know how everyone manages to get that ball into the 50 point hole, but it's fun anyway.

The one where you stick a token in and it pushes other tokens off the edge so you can play more video games.

I generally fart around until I find a game I'm really good at that I can milk for tickets.

Still never won anything more complicated than a free round of mini-golf, though. I suck

Whack-a-Mole is always fun.

When I have a really nice house that's huge, I'm getting a Skee-ball set, because I love Skee-ball. Love air hockey, too.

Agreed, but they don't like you bringing your own hammer. I found that out the hard way.

I find that most problems can be solved by excessive violence.

I'm just going to have a huge room dedicated to arcade machines like these. Will also have a pinball machine, one of those basketball ones, the football ones, and a Ms. Pac Man machine.

And Foosball.

I won the freakin jackpot at one of those games once.

The token blasted off a metal plate at a strange angle and got caught in the mechanism that moved the pusher plates, causing the whole machine to shake violently as the gears began to strip.

A nice little side effect of this is that nearly all the tokens got knocked off. I won maybe $180 in tokens.

I know you said that you don't mean video games.

But my favorite arcade game, is a video game. I love playing it at every arcade that has it.

I would... if there weren't arcade machines on both sides of the Skee Ball row.

I used to like laser tag, but then one day I walked into a wall and split my lip while playing. (The rooms were dark and foggy.) I was young so I have a kind of negative association with it now.
