    Carlie and I are playing non-stop skee-ball on our iPhones, so this week’s Old Game That Doesn’t Suck Thursday is Skee-Ball, both digital and physical!

    Man, I wish I could have a real Skee-Ball machine.  Although I would probably get really good at it and never play it again it’s such a novelty to play one of these things.  Fist-sized wooden balls are rolled up the long ramp and are bounced into the cups.  Each cup scores different points.  After 9 balls the game is over.

    For your score you recieve tickets.  The higher the score the better the ticket count.  In the United States these tickets could be redeemed for little prizes such as plastic frogs or candy (not sure how tickets are handled elsewhere, amuse me foreigners).

    I wish I knew more about this game in terms of gameplay.  There are so many variation and knock off machines that its hard to tell what is the true game.  But the one aspect that all these games have is a fun, ball rolling 25-cent experience.

    Carlie noted there’s no 100 point cup on this board.  Oh well.  Just another variation.

    Anyway, if you have a chance to play a machine enjoy!  It’s a fun experience if you can find an arcade that still has them (or an arcade in-general).
