My 4 year old daughter "fooled" me this morning. When I woke up she told me my wife swapped out my Donkey Kong pcb with my Donkey Kong Junior pcb and that I should try it out. She didn't use those exact words, but you get the point. At first I said, "Mommy doesn't know how to switch it out" but then I realized that this was her joke. Anyhow, I plugged it in, it was still Donkey Kong, and I pretended to be shocked.

Anyhow, I'm pretty proud that she thought up this gag on her own, it was arcade related, and she knows what a "board" is.

Anybody else have any arcade related April Fools jokes today or in the past?
 
lmao would have been better if she unplugged the one of the connectors, then you would have thought she messed it up LOL
 
There was a guy over at BYOAC that posted an April Fool's prank a few years ago. He had just got a Crystal Castles machine and was in the process of working on it. Since he had some things torn apart (like the speaker grill) he played an April Fool's prank and said he was MAMEing the machine. He made up a cheesy marquee, said he thew all the Crystal Castles parts away, etc. I always thought it was funny, but I think one of the first comments he got was "April Fool's" so I don't think many fell for it. I've often thought it would be funny to do something like that here. Maybe sign up for a new account and post a little bit leading up to April 1st so it's not so obvious. Back when my buddy's Tempest was a work in progress, we thought about doing something similar. We talked about taking his 6100 and setting it in the trash bin to get a picture of us throwing away the original Tempest junk. :D I bet we could have got some good reactions.
 
I was just thinking that it might have been funny if the mods let that MAME conspiracy theorist wackjob through today, but then I realized that I didn't know what the f I was talking about and should just keep my stupid ideas to myself.
