FAQ
What does it cost to play?
We kept the 80s prices and recommend a Playcard with 25 credits to begin with for 60 kr. You are also welcome to share it with your group. Arcade & Pinball are ol’skool hardcore cool so a card per person is often the blockbuster choice.
What if I don’t use all credits?
The card is yours and as “practice makes perfect”, you are welcome to keep the card and use it again next time.
Superb! I bet you are soon ready for a highscore too. Don’t forget to submit it.

Standard classic control-setup
Same as shooting.
Auto-fire is rapid repeated shoots automatically often obtained by holding the button down.
Platform games are all about jumping. You probably know Super Mario and how he jumps from one element (platform) to another.
Some games let you jump an extra jump in the air.
Some games let you jump longer when running and jumping at the same time.
Jumping as a tool: Sometimes you can hit something by jumping into it to acquire bonus.
Jumping as a weapon: Enemies are often killed by jumping on top of them.
Extra: Sometimes, holding down the jump button will let you jump again as soon as you touch the ground.
This is mostly an upgrade or a special weapon. Some games want you to hold the shoot (fire) button for maximum effect.
Some games let you run, drive (and the like) faster. Try holding a button down to see if you go faster.
A speedrun is when a player completes the game as fast as possible. Not necessarily looking for points.
Older arcade games where so difficult that they were not expected to be played for very long. However, players have been up to the challenge and never surrendered.
Examples
Donkey Kong
When you have played for so long that the game is out of memory Jumpman (Mario) will die each time you move him up the screen. No matter if you hit the flame or barrel. All life left will be killed off one by one. You get to keep the points you have managed to acquire.
Pac-Man
Suddenly you will see a glitch where a lot of “random” text is filling up in one side of the screen. You can still play the game.
Killscreens are only known to be achieved by skilled players and takes practise to reach.
Some games allow you to max up your score/points by doing moves over and over. Other times a bonus (stage) might appear.
A player who point press tries to get as many points out of each game no matter what it takes to play it.
Most classic arcade games has a “Joystick”. One joystick per player. This is how you control your character on the screen. It is typically a stick with a ball on top. 2-Player games can be turn based so you take turns with only one playing at a time before switching. Other games has got two joysticks so you can play together.
Robotron is the beloved odd one and has even got two joysticks per player. One to control the character and another one to control the direction of your shooting.
Other arcades might have a gun, steering wheel, spinner, slider, trackball or something else.
Please note: Buttons & functions might be placed in a different order, depending on the game. Some games have more buttons than needed and the extra buttons are not defect, just not in play. On 2-Player games, the same setup is found for both players.
Highscores are often set by point pressing and not just by getting to the end.
The bonus can, however, be related to the time you have left in the game: A lot of time left = a lot of bonus points.
Konami Code, コナミコマンド or Konami Komando is a “cheat” code. Many of the Konami games will add something extra by doing this with the joystick ↑↑↓↓←→←→ and then press button: B and then A. When Konami Code is used the highscore is no longer valid.
