[comp.org.eff.talk] for laughs

I visited Reno, Nevada, a year and a half ago.  I spent about $2 gambling,
and about $10 playing pinball.  You drop a quarter in, and an accented
voice says "Secret Service in Digital Stereo!"  Lots of digitized sounds; I
particularly liked the bumpers that had a woman's voice saying "Oooh!"
enthusiastically when hit.  Tilting the machine got an offended male voice:
"You *tilted*!"

It was fun to play, too, but the details are dim after all this time.

This machine was in the arcade at Harrah's.  I don't know if it is still
there, and I haven't seen one of these since.

It was the high point of my trip.  I really want to find _Secret Service_
again.
