What $90 can get you at the arcade
Saturday, September 6, 2008, 9:33 PM

Ever wondered why anybody would spend so much at an arcade? My mum and my elder sis did just that. $90 at a stupid machine... Want to know what we got in return? Read on...

Well, it happened at Jurong Point. That's near Jurong West for anyone who dosen't know where it is... It happened at Zone-X which was newly revamped. Apparently, there's a relatively new machine, at least I think it is, where you basically use the machine to scoop candies from an area and deposit it at another area. At the area where you deposit the candies, there's two boards there. One of the boards is stationary while the other(above the stationary board) basically just slids forward and backward, pushing whatever candy it can into the collection area(whatever goes in here belongs to you. Can't think of a better word than a collection bin off-hand >.<) That's how the game works, more or less.

There's this additional segment where there is this LED display that has about 12 bars showing where you are now. The display is divided into 3 segments and there are 4 bars which are labelled C,B,A and JP respectively in the order from the bottom of the bar to the top. If you hit C,B or A, something special will happen to the boards to help push more candies into the collection bin(Hitting C,B and A does different things). JP stands for Jackpot and if you hit, you get the big prize i.e. the soft toy. So how dos the bar go up? I think a certain number of credits or successfully pushing a number of candies into the collection bin will trigger this wheel which starts spinning and will land on either a 1,2 or 3 which determines how much the bar will increase by. Sth like tt. I know it's confusing.

A picture of the LED thingy..


So my sis and mum were at like somewhere near B when they wanted to stop. Guess what? They then decided to continue playing again because it's such a waste to spend $50 and only get candies and they continued playing till they got the jackpot of course. All in all, they spent $90 on that stupid game. -.-"

Let me show you some pictures. =P.
