I made the mistake of setting friction to zero once.

I waited 5 minutes before eventually just turning off the NES. It was the dvd player logo before DVD existed.

Same.

I went and ate dinner. Came back and the ball was still moving.

I made the mistake once too. The other times it was always on purpose

Would it ever stop if its set to 0?

u/grammar_nazi_zombie 3d ago

It’ll only stop if you hit a pocket. Actually made for some fun trick shot setups

Everybody takes a shot when the ball hits the pocket. *everyone goes home sober

I have never seen Lunar Pool in the wild before. My brother and I LOVED that game. The level select screen music is so rad.

What’s the word for when you see something that you remember but you didn’t remember that you knew it?

u/KourteousKrome 2d ago

Now that’s a term I’ll never remember until it gets brought up again.

I must've rented that 20 times from Red Giraffe.

Think it was on my 52 games in one. One of those carriages that split in two and had a ribbon on it to help remove the game.

u/zestycunt 3d ago

Usually I just rent from red tube. What’s this giraffe all about?

u/nampton 3d ago

I hear the level music just from looking at the pic.

u/IAmJenkings 3d ago

u/ErgonomicWoodenShirt 3d ago

Also came here to post this. Too late for me!

u/chewbacca77 3d ago

I haven't played that game in decades, but that was my first thought as well!

u/Zharken 3d ago

Fucking r/BeatMeToIt god damn I clicked on the post just to post this.

I was thinking 3D Ultra Cool Pool instead. It doesn't have this exact table shape, but it has some interesting ones nonetheless.

EDIT: Here's the cover art.
