What's the funnies thing you've had happen with a game, or seen happen involving them?

Mine would be one time when someone with an electric wheelchair tied a strap around Arm Champ 2 at Kings Island and obviously beat the game...
 
While playing Air Hockey:
A Buddy and I once picked up a pair of 17 year old girls.....

One had 9 piercings in 8 different places.
The other had a lazy eye.


Guess who got stuck with the girl with the Lazy eye!

When I was a kid and SFII was still fairly new, I saw some dude kick the machine's ass after Chun Li kicked his ass. It was piss your pants funny, because he repeated this pattern 5 or so times before being escorted out by cops:

1. Lose to Chun-Li first round
2. Kick coin door area a few times and cuss alot
3. Lose to Chun-Li 2nd round
4. Go ballistic, punch the plexi hard, kick the sides, cuss alot more
5. Mumble, then drop in 2 more quarters.
6. return to step 1
 
When i was 17 I remember walking into the men's bathroom and there were two kids jumping from urinal to urinal. The third urinal ripped from the wall when the larger kid landed on it. Water sprayed out, initially it shot across the room above the kids head but as the pressure dropped it sprayed him in the face. This was the funniest thing I had seen up until that point (my days of hanging out with drunk sailors were still to come).

Yup, that would have been funny to see.
 
I was playing Ring King in the late 80s at my regular arcade, and was doing relatively well (I was up to the 4th boxer).

I slammed one of the punch buttons down, and it broke off the machine, sending the button (the round top and a part of the plunger) shooting across the room, to smack the bezel of the Super Volleyball cabinet. Luckily nobody was standing over there!

Also luckily, I was friends with the owner, and he thought it was funny!

Kyle :cool:
 
Me and a buddy were playing air hockey in the late 80s. He hit a hard shot and the paddle went flying out of his hand to the side of the table. Thinking I had an easy goal I send a hard shot back and he drops his arm on the table to block it. The puck hits him on the elbow, cutting it open. He's looking up at me laughing that he stopped my shot without a paddle until he looks down and sees blood pouring out of his elbow. No first aid kit in the arcade so I ran next door to the pizza place and grabbed a bunch of napkins for him to stop the blood and clean up with. Who knew air hockey could be so dangerous?
 
The teenage couple making out in a Pole Position sitdown. She was all over him and he kept trying to play the damn game.

When the attendant threw them out, I got a good look at her, she was smokin' hot. At that age, if something like that wanted a piece of me, the game could wait...:)...and wait...:)...and wait :D

Any kid going through major enough growth spurts that not only are they not used to the length of their arms and bumping them into shit all the time, but the length of their fingers when playing air hockey. After the first time I tried my best to remember to keep my grip on the thing so I wouldn't have fingers trailing, but I didn't get the hang of it 'till I was more used to large hands. Ow. Ow. Ow.
 
I saw a kid at chucky cheese who was likely about 10 playing skeet ball shake something out of his pants. It was a turd.
:eek:

Funny I am not sure. Gross for sure.

I hope nobody is eating pizza. Look twice... bite once.
 
I used to work at Kings Island, kids pooping randomly in line is something I'm used to lol.

Only chuckee cheese story I have is a couple kids standing on the skee ball games just dropping teh balls in the 50 hole, no one ever said anything.
 
When I was 9 or 10, I pissed my pants (actually, I was wearing shorts so it was a lot more messy) playing Berzerk. I had to pee so bad while I was playing, but I was having a really good game and didn't want to kill myself.

And we're not talking a couple of drops here. It was a full-on piss. It was everywhere. I did get the high score on the machine though, so it wasn't all for nothing.

My best buddy and I were playing Bubble hockey in an arcade once. For weeks the goalie on my buddy's side had become quite week on its peg. As a Canadian I would like nothing more to brag and say that it was my bubble hockey slap shot that finally knocked his goalie off its peg but that's exactly what happened!

I then took my center man and shot his goalie in his own net. The problem with this....the now dead goalie laid in the net plugging the hole where the puck goes down after scoring a goal.

The arcade owner was amused once we told him what had happened then bitched once he realized the goalie would require re-painting
