PLINKDOWN

A lost TV broadcast

PLINKDOWN is an arcade peg game framed as a 1994 broadcast from WKNT Channel 9. You find a tape labeled “DO NOT PLAY” and take part in the show: aim a dropper, release an orb, and light every peg it touches. Meet the quota before you run out of orbs or the signal is lost.

Amber stars raise your multiplier, skulls explode, green clocks grant another drop, and the pail at the bottom returns the orb. The board also has eyes that pay when lit, but doing so costs an orb. As the broadcast continues, contestants from earlier segments break in, and the host keeps smiling.
