Claw Machines

Lets go out on a limb here and talk about a really old form of games: Claw machines. These babies have been around in one form or another since the 40's. Nowadays they mostly populate arcades and grocery stores, trying to get parents to waste money on there kids in an attempt to win "that cute bear". I was one of those kids, but my mom was actually good at claw machines and managed to win me some good toys. She passed on her secrets to me and with my natural gamer skills, I soon became a beast at these machines, totally screwing up the whole economic model of the game ( you lose more money than the animal is worth).
wrong side, but grab some toys while you're there.
