Title: Coke machine arcade game? Post by: pyromedic on June 22, 2012, 08:21:11 pm Never heard or seen this before. Came across it in a trade magazine "The Coca-Cola Bottler" Oct 1982!
Play " Catch a Coke" on one or "Spell Coke" on another. "All the pizzazz of the electronic arcade" 8) Now I want another Coke machine :biggrin: Anybody ever see or have one? Title: Re: Coke machine arcade game? Post by: MaineT on June 22, 2012, 08:35:49 pm The closest thing to that that I remember is spelling a word under the bottle caps!!! Wonder if they actually ever made any of these?

I know they made the "talking" ones around the same time, but this is a new one on me! Title: Re: Coke machine arcade game? Post by: Funtronics on June 23, 2012, 06:46:38 am I have one out of a machine. It plugs into a jones plug and then the mech plugs into it. They are really neat. I'll try and post a picture later.
Title: Re: Coke machine arcade game? Post by: SIGNGUY on June 23, 2012, 09:57:54 am As a kid I had a handheld game called catch a coke,.. my Dad brought it home from a Coca-Cola Bottlers Convention one year... I'll have to see if I can find it.. it was a monkey throuwing cans of coke out of a tree if I recall.. and you had to catch them before they hit the ground... again 1980's era video games... pretty simple.!
here is a link to more detail.. I had the one on the top, the red handheld.. http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Bandai/CatchACoke.htm Title: Re: Coke machine arcade game?

Title: Re: Coke machine arcade game? Post by: pyromedic on February 26, 2013, 09:58:27 pm Update: I have found and acquired a Catch a Coke vending game! :happydrinkers:
It has a standard plug added to the end. Hoping someone can help out with where and what plug i specifically need to put back on the end. It plugs into the Jones plug and then the coin mech then plugs into it. Any help appreciated! :hopefull: |
