Hi Nicol, Yeah, you could say that. Your chances of getting lucky at one of those toy machines is pretty low so in a way it is like gambling. You throw a few coins in the machine and see what you can get. Nicol Oosthuizen wrote: HI Tom As always, you are so informative. Thanks for the nice i

I was thinking of this type to be a casino style. you gamble some cash, then draw a card or something. I know its not correct but that would make it interesting. At 02:19 a.m. 22/12/2009, you wrote: >I have seen these machines, we have them in England too, and in America I >believe (sinse one

yes I have once. although it was a gift not necessarily a teddy. we also have a game where you put a coin in a slot and click a trigger. you only have around 30 seconds to click that trigger because after that the coin will drop back in the basket. even if you hit the trigger there is a 50-50 chan

Hi Claudio, The sounds should be easy enough. Since these toy machines usually have all kinds of stuffed animals besides bears you could give each toy a sound like the animal it is suppose to be. A toy dog could bark, a toy cat could meow, a lion could roar, a bear could growl, a cow could moo,

Hi Dark, Yeah, they are a scam alright. I haven't found many people who actually have beaten one of those things. My uncle is the only person I've met who has any luck at all with those machines, and he says it is because there is a trick to getting things out of one of them. They usually put

Hi Nicol, Yes, we have those machines here in the United States too. However, they aren't exactly fair. The main reason is they are specifically designed not to be able to pick up the larger stuffed toys, and in many other cases there is a switch in the arm that prevents it from grabbing the t

Yes, that is unfortunately true about the crane jaws, but I suppose the owners of the game would lose a lot of cash if everyone could win teddybears. the kirby series in general was famous for having innumerable minigames included. In kirby's nightmare in dremland for the Gba (an expanded

Hi Nicol! Oh, I know them very good. You can find these machines in most contries in gaming centres. A game simmilar to this concept would be really gread and shouldn't be to tricky for create. My problem is, I can't imagine how this really would sound like in an audio version. Do you have an imag

Would be cool. Also know of one or two of these machines in the wrong type of place where the people have tried things like turning them over to get the teddies to fall out in other ways... Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...'

I have seen these machines, we have them in England too, and in America I believe (sinse one featured in the film toystory), though the background music may be various things not just the lambada you mention. The problem is that they are actually a horrendous scam, sinse the jaws on
