Have you seen the reservation numbers?
I'm quite disappointed in the comments I see about this spring wheel. Only a couple commenters seem to be actually thinking... Tsk tsk.
There are these things called "bumps in the road" that redirect horizontal momentum into vertical force. It's why cars and bikes have suspension. What do you think pushes against a gas shock? Vertical force. This wheel captures that force in a spring and dissipates it through torque instead of just compressing gas in a cylinder. I don't see why it wouldn't work.

This dude just reinvented the wheel.

My only question is how effective it actually is. 30% is a lot.

The most secure thing you can do with that money is buy gold/silver and pay to have it stored in a secure vault. Honestly, that is more secure than keeping dollars in a bank account or US treasuries. Also, gold/silver are appreciating.

I was born in 1987 and I totally get it. This has always been my favorite retro game; I first encountered it for PS2 I think. I've only found one multicade machine at a local juice bar that had it. I've never before or since been devoted to maintaining high score on a public machine like that before. Unfortunately, that machine is now gone.
