I'll be the last one to perpetuate an archetype, but this one brings one or two stereotypes in mind.  The drunken business man, and the geeky otaku.  I love this guy though

I played one of those back in like 96. I think it was this one.


I beat all the levels on it when I was... I think I was 12 that year.

I've seen several versions of those. The only one I ever played was at Busch Gardens. After you beat the few rounds, there was kind of a bonus round at the end where the arm would get stronger and stronger until it beat you, and it would record the highest amount of force you exerted on it (in pounds) and put it on the high score.

Too bad those fags reset it at the start of every day. I got #1.
