While I figured it must have been the game Pachinko, I kind of did a
double-take... as a number of you know, the Lava Rats have a song
called "Pachinko" on Surfing the Magma.
I will add for the record, that the name of the song was inspired by
our desire to find a goofy word to yell in the pauses, and our bass
player looked over and asked what the name was for that goofy
looking machine sitting in the corner of my garage. You just never
know what will happen when you have an old pachinko machine sitting
around the house....
