Has anyone else ever seen someone use a quarter on a string to play arcade games for free? I've only seen it done once. I believe the game was Xevious, and this kid had a quarter with a hole in it on a string, and he would put the quarter in, it would make a louder than usual metallic latching sound, the game would credit him, then he'd pull the quarter back out by the string.
I wonder if that would still work nowadays? As I recall, the game had a horizontal coin slot that was all metal, not the red, rectangular, plastic coin slot that most arcade machines have. Maybe the red ones are the new kind to prevent this trick from working.
