A thread to appreciate the sport of.. well maybe not kings.. but according to the flick Dogma, God plays it, so it has that going for it, which is nice.
Nothing like spending an afternoon pumping in tokens, loading up on tickets to win a whistle, an eraser, and a plastic spider ring.. total money spent, like a hundred bucks.. total winnings acquired, fifteen cents.
Appreciate or disparage this game of skill and/or dumb luck here.

I was in a competition once. I had the top score and was told that they'd give me a call about how I could get my prize but never heard from them because the competition was open for a few more hours but we had to go.
So either some other guy came along and somehow scored more than the 270 or 290 I had or it was one of those things where I had to actually be there to get my prize and the chick lied. It was sponsored by one of the local TV stations but the prize was something really insignificant so I wasn't that worried about it.

This game is irreversibly associated in my mind with cheap pizza and an animatronic moose playing a guitar.

Man I love skeeball. And guitar-playing furries. And pizza. But I hate large groupings of small children... damn.

When ever I'm in an arcade Skeeball is the first game I head to. Half the time I'm always trying to hit the impossible 100 point holes in the upper corners, and the great success feeling when I get one in.

I haven't played Skeeball in a couple of years. Glad to know I'm not the only one who appreciates this fine game.

This game is irreversibly associated in my mind with cheap pizza and an animatronic moose playing a guitar. Same here. (And for the record, that association is a good thing.) I love me some Skeeball. It's the first game I play when I walk into an arcade, although I don't usually stick with it for more than a handful of games before I move on to the games with big ticket payouts.

I heart skeeball. If I ever had a personal arcade-game room type thing, skeeball would be the first thing in there, along with an air hockey table.

I must have set a record for launching my ball into the neighboring lanes. I'm to blame/thank for why you got 7/13 balls on your go.
I also liked how the game took awhile. Helped me stretch my tokens after I wasted a bunch on that coin pusher game.

Skeeball at Dave & Busters is a thing of genius.
I was never all that great though, but at least this way, I don't have to knock kids out of the way at Chuck E Cheese.
