    I don't even know what that is.

    The more lenient games letting you have 3 continues before pumping you for more money!
    Now instead of spending quarters, you get the opportunity to spend tens of thousands of dollars a season in games!

    (Signature portrait by Amaipetisu)

    "I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore
