What is the weirdest thing you've found in a game you've bought?

I was recently on a service call and found 6 partial bags of 12-yr-old Mary Jane in the bottom of a Millipede. The guy used to hide his stash in there, would forget he still had some left, get a new bag, repeat. There was also like 13 lighters in there. He quit smoking when he got married 10 years ago and forgot all about it, until I opened it up.

He offered to let me have it, but I don't smoke. Still I have a friend who does, so I took it and gave it to my buddy. He pronounced it to be very dry but "still good"...

Why can't this happen to me, damnit.

Was their a small wager involved in this?

Not really. I basically said "hey, you should eat that", and he did. The other guy who was helping us almost puked. It made a very distinct (and disturbing) crunch when he bit it, and again on every chew afterwards. Still a running joke when those two are together...

Picked up a ratty Pac-Man in Chicago yesterday that, how shall I say,... wasn't quite the area Bill Gates would live.

I was cleaning it out today and inside were two live hollow point bullets.

They are illegal in Illinois and most other states.

I guess I'm glad I didn't haggle too hard on price and get the seller angry.

Incorrect. Hollow Point ammunition is only restricted in the state of New Jersey. I think you're thinking of exploding bullets.

Hollow Point ammunition is much safer to use for home defense than standard ammunition as the bullet won't travel as far once it hits something... meaning you won't shoot through 3 walls and off someone by accident.

As an example... you can go HERE in Illinois and purchase all the hollow point bullets you want...

Hey, I found it on the internet, so it must be a fact. Are you saying the internet holds inaccurate information?

I stand corrected. I probably put my search term in incorrectly when I tried to look it up.

hey, cool necropost.
Anyways, speaking of dildos (page 1), there's that one on the hellcades site with the Space Invaders pin shoved full of em'
I'll see if I can find it.

Free ammo in a game is a bonus.

Found a dead hooker in a game once.

An all too lifelike rubber snake in a game that I picked up at an auction. I had left it the garage for a week or so before I dug into the game. When I did I saw the snake coiled up in the back corner. It took me a long time to build up the courage to reach in and grab the snake and find out it was fake.

Weirdest thing for me was inside my Mappy upright, found an old beat up bouncy ball that says "ORGY - VAPOR TRANSMISSION" in futuristic font across it. It also clearly used to light up as you can see one of those little mechanisms inside that flashes upon impact, though it had long since stopped working. A member here recognized the name, apparently in 2000 a band called Orgy released an album called Vapor Transmission. Why the hell they made bouncy balls for it, though, or how one ended up crammed in beside the power supply on a Mappy cabinet, is beyond me. I still have it somewhere.

From now on, every game I sell I am going to put some weird ass shit in it so the buyer can come to this thread and talk about it. I think we should start a trend and do this everywhere!!

I hope you didn't let your kids have those....

This was a recent machine I acquired from a storage shed. A load of acorns in the coin tray. The Squirrels really wanted to play Tempest.

Someone was overcompensating for something there.....

Just sayin.

Poor SI pin...

Weirdest thing I ever found in a game I bought was all the original parts, installed correctly, unmolested, and working.

But I did find a fuse replaced by a .22 shell casing in a multimeter I bought off craigslist bitd. It was super tight and hard to get out.
