Who's got next game?

[netizen]

Is FarSight playing a bit of a "Where's Waldo" with us.

I remember someone posting a pic of a quarter on the floor of one table's 'room'

And here we have:

Are there more quarters hidden away within TPA for the less than focused players to find?

is that from the actual image of centaur from TPA ? If it is i see that shows 5 balls per game and that would have been a party in the arcade with first replay at 1,000,000 points i could play all day on a quarter. Back on the topic i dont see no quarter in that image. are you talking about that white circle next to the word "centaur" (correction i meant word "bally") ? Thats not a quarter its the credit light. Centaur had a credit light whenever you hit a replay or there was a credit on the machine that would light up. if theres a quarter over that light i can't see it. i looked at it again i can its translucent and the white line running under it thats the credit light.
EDIT: Correction i mean the white circle next to the word "BALLY".

These aren't quarters on the floor, that's chewing gum.

I've never seen gum that shiny before.

Those are quarters?! I always figured they were Pin*Bot's nuts (and bolts)

I didn't know about the Credit Light It is a staic circle of silvery white on the apron that doesn't do much of anything; at least on mobile.

Looking at it after seeing the ipdb pics I can totally see the dimple in the middle, now, that marks it as a light. Previously I had the impression of a blurred or very un-detailed coin/quarter.

Still, my premise that there may be a mini-game of sorts is not disproven with the pin*bot floor "coins"

the light does not not light on the TPA version but it does in the real world version. I am viewing on my PC screen on my iPad mini i could not read that score card either. Things are hard to make out on the smaller mobile screens.

I super glued those quarters to the floor, I like to watch people try to pick them up then realise the cant.

Isn't it great that the German's had a specific word for that for us to borrow? I think Nelson sums it up best..
