International Arcade Museum® — Killer List of Videogames®

Dec 27-31, 2024 Year End Appeal: The Museum of the Game and The International Arcade Museum Library both launched great initiatives in 2024, but each is spending more doing so than they bring in. We're asking for your direct support for the New Year, as we'd like to sustain our momentum in 2025! Learn More

We are asking you to reflect on how valuable you find our offerings, whether you believe in arcade, coin-op, and video-game preservation, and whether you would be able to give at least $5. If you have given in the past and we still provide you with value, please kindly donate again. If you have never contributed, please consider joining our efforts today. If everyone reading this gave just $5, we'd be well on our way to reaching our goals. All that matters is that you choose to support our preservation efforts. Every contribution helps, whether it's $2 (a common first donation), $5 (the most common donation amount), $12 (the average), $20, $50, $100, or more.

Bank Pool

Description

Throw the puck to "break up" the rack (it is always the same break), then try to clear the balls in the least number of shots by banking the puk off the sides.

This is a classic puck game. The object is to clear all the "balls" from the board. You have five shots per turn, 6 turns per game. The first shot is straight down the middle, awarding 10, 20, or 30 points depending on how close to center the puck is thrown. Next a different group of balls comes down (it is always the same), and you have four shots to clear them away. The method is to bank the puck off the 3 walls to pick up the most balls in possible in one shot, hence the name 'Bank Pool'. If you do it in 2 shots, you are awarded 90 points, 60 points for 3 shots, and 30 points for 4 shots. If you fail to clear all the balls, you only receive 1 point for each one you cleared. It is a pretty fun game, complete with a bell that rings for every 10 points scored. My high score is 430, the maximum possible score is 720.
