i was wondering which method you guys prefer to start your game / add credits:
(1) insert coins (if so, are you using different currencies?)
(2) set game on freeplay (if possible)
(3) leave the coin door open and push the coin switch manually
in my opinion you get the real arcade feeling when you're throwing in coins, however there is the problem with the coin door acceptance. some of my cabs are from france, others from italy, others from germany and so on. i don't have all those different coins lying around, therefore my idea is to change all the coin doors to accept tokens. you still have the arcade feeling then but don't have to collect hundreds of different coins.
problem is: how do it "convert" the coin door to accept tokens? have you ever done this before?
what's your take on the whole thing? it would be interesting to know ...
