skee ball

by wants2laugh Wed Jan 18, 2012 4:05 am

when i was a kid, my siblings and i loved playing skee ball at amusement parks and boardwalks. We would win hundreds of tickets and trade the tickets in for prizes.

i seriously think that if i could have one in my house today, i would really enjoy it!

did you ever play or like it?

I had to google it, just to make sure I was thinking the same thing you were. Yes, this was one of my favorite games to play at the arcades.

Love that game but I never get enough tickets out of it to get anything with. Have to agree though, there's something every home ought to have.

We used to run up the ramp (when no one was looking), and made sure we got the high scores so we got lots of tickets Smile

I would have my own skee-ball machine in my house, if I had a place to put it!

My son and I LOVE playing it. His dad did get him the Xbox with Kinect for Christmas and one of the games that came with it has a virtual skee ball. Not nearly as fun, but not a quarter a game either!

I still play it at carnivals and amusement parks. Don't know why I find it so fun but I do ~ almost therapeutic. I give my tickets to some child who doesn't appear to have many.

That's nothing, I saw a video once of this woman who was so skinny she could crawl into a claw machine and she grabbed all the big stuffed animals and dropped them out for her friends to grab.
