UFO catcher machine in arcade
-
I remember many years ago when I was still a kid, the UFO catcher machine in the arcade was very popular.
The one which you put in $1 or $2 and than you get a try at trying to catch out any 1 of the cute toys in the machine. If you manage to get it out than the toy is yours. If not your money is gone.
Did anybody manage to catch any toy out of the machine before?
Because today I was at the arcade again after around 10 years of not stepping into the arcade anymore and I saw a group of teenagers trying to catch the toy out but each time they failed.
From what I feel, it is impossible to catch out any toy and the machine is designed in such a way that it is impossible to catch out any toys and you will be just wasting your money..

u shd check out marina sq level 3 i think

sometimes u shd just pay 60 bucks and buy it directly from shops like More Than Words.... -
from wat u feel, it was impossible...
I've seen some people completing the "impossible" task u mentioned though...
of coz, lucky ones spend only a few bucks, some had it tough like $20 and still no luck...

oh.. btw.. you see those with the scoop thing which puts on a moving platform which pushes sweets and stuff like that?
i saw this dude with his whole bloody family there.. i swear the guy's card flashed about $800 when he put in a pile of credits into the machine..
we walked past to go watch a movie... he was there before the movie started and he was still there when the movie ended!

The prize is dependent on how many times you hit the jackpot thing. They have a card which they will stamp on for you whenever you hit jackpot. I believe they have washing machines, television and even computers, but the amount of jackpots required is very high.
