WORD PROCCESSED BY THE MULCHER ][
|
|
|
|
EXCULISIVELY FOR APPLE TREK SYSTEMS
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
REPRINTED FROM VARIOUS TAP ISSUES.
|
|
|
|
PAC-MAN
|
|
THIS TRICK ISN'T EXACTLY NEW, BUT IT'S INTERESTING
|
|
NONE THE LESS. ON SOME MIDWAY VIDEO GAMES, INCLUDING
|
|
PAC-MAN, A SMALL FLAW IN THE COIN TOTALIZER ALLOWS FREE
|
|
GAMES. HOW? TAKE A SMALL BUT WEIGHTY OBJECT SUCX AS A "D"
|
|
SIZE BATTERY OR POAKET KNIFE, AND GIVE THE MACHINE A
|
|
SHARP RAP BETWEEN THE COIN DEPOSIT AND COIN RETURN SLOTS.
|
|
IF YOU HAVE DONE IT CORRECTLY, YOU WILL GET ONE FREE
|
|
CREDIT. DO IT MORE, AND GET MORE. THERE'S NO LAW OF
|
|
DIMINISHING RETURNS HERE! HOWEVER, SOME MACHINES HAVE
|
|
BEEN FITTED WITH A "TILT" SWITCH IN THAT AREA, SO, YA WIN
|
|
SOME, YA LOSE SOME.
|
|
|
|
STRINGING:
|
|
|
|
A METHOD WHICH WORKS ON MANY MACHINES IS CALLED
|
|
STRINGING. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST SIMPLE THINGS
|
|
IMAGINABLE. JUST TAKE A QUARTER (OR A TOKEN, IF YOU HAVE
|
|
A PLACE LIKE THAT AROUND. MACHINES WHICH TAKE TOKENS
|
|
HAVE LOWER TOLERANCES AND ARE EASIER TO FOOL) AND EITHER TAPE
|
|
OR GLUE A PIECE OF THREAD (OR DENTAL FLOSS, WHICH WORKS
|
|
BETTER) ABOUT 2 FEET LONG TO IT.
|
|
|
|
GOT THAT? NOW, GO TO YOU FAVORITE CROWDED ARCADE AND
|
|
PUT THE QUAD IN. BUT NOT ALL THE WAY. JUST LOWER IT
|
|
DOWN SLOWLY UNTIL YOU HEAR (OR FEEL) IT HIT THE TOTALIZER
|
|
MECHANISM. THEN JIGGLE IT UP AND DOWN. EACH TIME YOU HIT
|
|
THE TRIGGER INSIDE, YOU'LL GET A CREDIT!
|
|
|
|
NOW IT'S TIME FOR SOME NUMBERS. THERE IS A COMPUTER LOCATED
|
|
AT 800-521-2255. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS SINCE IT WILL NO
|
|
ACCEPT 300 BAUD.
|
|
|
|
IF IT IS SAFE TO BOX IN YOUR AREA HERE IS THE NUMBER
|
|
TO THE PRINCETON UNIVERSITY IBM 3033. 609-452-3854.
|
|
AFTER CONNECTING YOU WILL GET THE VM/370 ONLINE
|
|
MESSAGE. HIT RETURN AND THE SYSTEM WILL SEND A "1!". NOW
|
|
TRY DIFFERENT IDS. YOUR BEST BET IS THE Q9XXX (XXX=000TO
|
|
199) SERIES. IF YOU GET NOT IN CP DIRECTORY IT MEANS TXAT
|
|
THERE IS NOT AN ACCOUNT UNDER THAT ID PRESENTLY. IF
|
|
YOU GET "PASSWORD:XXXXXXXX THEN ALWAYS TRY "NULLPASS" FIRST.
|
|
AFTER FOUR ATTEMPTS THE SYSTEM WILL DUMP YOU. IF YOU DO
|
|
GET AN ACCOUNT TYPE "MONEY" TO SEE HOW MUCH DOUGH THE
|
|
ACCT. HAS. THEN TYPE "GAMES" TO ACCESS THE GAMES DISK.
|
|
THE OPERATING SYSTEM IS CMS BY IBM. MANY OF THEIR SYSTEMS
|
|
USE IT.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
THERE IS A GM WATTS EXTENDER USING T-TONE AT
|
|
800-521-1805. THE ACCESS NUMBER CAN BE FROM 1 TO 23 DIGITS
|
|
LON. AFTER ENTERING YOUR NUMBER HIT # TO TELL THE
|
|
MACHINE YOU ARE FINISHED. THERE IS A PBX AT
|
|
800-521-1675. THE ACCESS CODE IS 3000. THEN YOU CAN HIT
|
|
7,8, OR 9. AFTER THAT I DON'T KNOW. THERE IS ALSO A PBX
|
|
AT 800-521-2625 AND; THE ACCESS CODE IS 3 DIGITS LONG.
