THE SEGA ATHLETIC SCALE
This sighting was made in Teignmouth. On the pier. Teignmouth seems to be lagging behind a bit when it comes to getting the latest arcade releases, as for the people of Teignmough, finding out how strong your wrists are is still considered a fun activity:
It’s a knob-twisting test of strength, like those mammoth, three-hour Friday night wanking sessions. So much for Nintendo and its “new” ideas – SEGA was licensing this kind of interactive game shit back in 1947. We would really like to see a working Perfumatic too.
The man who sent this in also found a very good painting of Sonic The Hedgehog on the wall of an arcade in Ilfracombe. We’re saving that for a separate update, as it’s such an amazing image it’s going to require some thought.

Teignmouth pier arcade circa 2001 was brilliant. The reasons were:
– Virtual Fighter 3 for 20p
– A donkey derby gambling game when blue won EVERY time.
– Pinball machines without legs.
– Wonderous old machines like that

I bet you have to smoke a pipe and have a big mustache to play on that machine!

“Rhys said…
Teignmouth pier arcade circa 2001 was brilliant.” And then posted some reasons.
Don’t forget the wooden pinball style machines where you won packets of 1920’s sweets.
Also, there was a brilliant “true or false” game which cost 1p to play, and you won 2p if you guessed “true” or “false” correctly. It was riveting. I won at least 10p on it.

Man… According to that chart my grip is now on the downward slope to being ‘too weak to wank’.
Depressing…

Now the pier is just full of chavs on slot machines.

Since this is the newest post, even if its not really related, i’ll post here:
That vid was the worst mistake you’ve ever made for your site, Zorg. No seriously, I liked your site until I watched that vid. It wasn’t even “bad in a funny way”, it was “bad in a fucking embarrassment.”
Not to mention, you’re incredibly ugly. And stop sucking your fucking teeth, you fucktwat.

Does it have a guide to what age you will be before you loose all your integrity and sell out your whole life’s philosophy for a few quid?
Could be useful.

So all this blogging HARDER, LONGER and FASTER or whatnot isn’t really working out is it?
Or are you too busy getting your face put onto a mousemat?

It is proceeding as was foreseen.
And after ten years of “giving” it is only gentlemanly of me to “receive” for a bit.

I still love you Zorg. Now you’re famous, how about you go sort us both out with some cocaine and hookers? Yeah, we’re buddies.

The stench of prepubescent testosterone in these forums is becoming quite over powering. I would love to see the state of half the fuckers that post here. Good on you Zorg, grab all the cash you can and walk off laughing to yourself in amusement.

So now you’ve given and received which do you like best?
