There's this movie theater I go to, and One day I went, I could've sworn I heard Oxygene IV. The next time I went back with some friends, I realized that it was coming from the coin-operated toy machine with the claw- you know, the rigged ones that usually don't work because of the angle of the glass? Next time I see a movie I'll bring my camera along to take a video of the Oxygene-playing claw machine. Has anyone else seen anything like this?

When I heard it, I was like "Oh my god, the toy machine is playing JMJ's Oxygene IV!" And everybody, even the dude behind the snack bar looked at me. XD

I recall hearing Oxy4 back in the 80s on a arcade machine while on a day trip to Blackpool.

Or perhaps the grip itself is too slippery or soft until enough tries has been carried out to pay the costs of the damn prices. :fine:

I remember hearing oxygene 4 on those claw machines ever since I was a child on holiday in spain (around 95ish) now I hear it all the time when the fair comes to town. Its quite common place.

How it wound up on those machines is what i would like to know.
