Message: [QUOTE="pr0xy, post: 138394, member: 55628"] Okay this isn't really a memorable experience (it's anecdotal at best) but you made me remember, so here goes nothing: Back when I was a kid, there was a rumor going around about arcade cabinets with fighting games. The rumor said that if you pressed the player two buttons during a single-player run, the CPU would go nuts, and the difficulty would ramp up heavily. I haven't read or heard anything similar on the internet or from other people online, so my guess is that it was a local thing that someone made up and we just ran with it. So, to make a long story short, what my friends and I used to do was hang around the arcade machines (it was common to find them in places like bars and restaurants back then, at least here), wait until the older kids started playing (we were 6 or 7 and the older kids were in their teens), sneak around them, press as many buttons as we could and run out of there like bats out of hell. We got our asses beaten a couple of times, but we mostly made it out unscathed every single time. [/QUOTE]
