Hmm, let’s ponder for a while what could I have meant. Soooo, do I put coins into my SNES or Genesis? Hmm, tough question, but if I had to give a definitive answer, it would be no. For multiple reasons, really. Like not having SNES or Genesis. And there being no slot for coins. Well, technically there’s a slot that you can put coins into, but it’s better to put the game cartridge there.
So, long story short, no I don’t. But where else would people in the past put coins into to play games? Well, that, my dear reader, is left as an exercise to you.
Apparently it is what is known as a rigged rental which is the equivalent of a quarter muncher. The game was so difficult that it would be to hard for new players to beat during the rental period to force them to buy it. It doesn’t seem like there was an actual arcade version, just a case of mixed metaphors. edit: typo
Now a single skin for a single character is the price of an entire game, or multiple games in the case of the newest Jinx skin for league of legends, thanks.
Laughs as I remember pumping endless quarters to continue in old cabinet arcade games.
OK, but did you pay $600 to have that cabinet in your house and still pumo endless quarters into it?
A better argument would have been “they still were creative unlike the soulless carbon copy mega games of today.”
Not quite, this has happened before

Nah, the Lion King was famously made so hard that it would force you to put more coins to try again.
Nothing has changed, we just had a brief intermezzo of games not being intentionally fucked to extract more money.
You put coins into your SNES or Genesis?

There was a lion king arcade game that took quarters?, is what I’m asking pal.

Do you know what they call a quarter mucher in Paris?
But just imagine how much more money they would have got out of you if you could also add a couple of extra quarters to change your character’s outfit
Fucking horse armor. Fucking dumbasses who bought it.
“Come on bruv, it’s just 2.50, what’s the harm!”
