TAP No. 83 - Video Voodoo

Fred Steinbeck rounds up early-1980s arcade folklore, including a widely circulated coin-mechanism quirk on some Pac-Man cabinets that could yield a free credit and a similar reported trick on a Donkey Kong Jr. machine, framed as hobbyist trivia about coin-op hardware of the era. A news-brief section covers police tactics for visually tagging a surveilled vehicle for nighttime and aerial tracking (as a heads-up to readers about what to watch for, not as instructions to evade it), plus scattered drug-culture and computer-security notes reprinted from other publications.
