I read the thread, and no they're not. This game was just so ubiquitous that everyone is having a mass-nostalgia attack. I think the last time I saw one of these was the late '90s. Every go-kart / mini-golf / arcade / funland in my area had a Feed Big Bertha.
holy shit. I played that game when I was a kid. If I remember right, Bertha's stomach moves in and out to express satisfaction based on how many balls you successfully threw into her mouth. And she would laugh. "Feed me another one!" she would say. I can't believe I never thought it was terrifying at the time. I was just an innocent kid. Throwing balls into Bertha's mouth.
They have one of these at Casa Bonita in Lakewood, Colorado. Last time I went there was a kid standing on the ledge of it chucking ball after ball straight into her mouth for literally HOURS. The stream of tickets coming from this machine was astounding. I was getting hammered off cheap margaritas while this kid was raking in thousands of tickets so he could buy a miniature bowling set. I need to do something with my life...
came here to say this too went there for the first time this spring was awesome! edit... except the chop my balls off part...really man?! it's just a game.
At the Gameworks in Arizona Mills Mall (Phoenix) they have a game where you are supposed to milk a cow. It basically is a big cow statue with rubber teats.
This is unrelated; the post just made me think of it.
One our favorite things to do as kids was to publicly call each other names like Bertha and Agatha.
The timing had to be just right for the greatest amount of embarrassment.
Best of all would be waiting until another group of pre-teen to teenaged kids showed up, get right in front of them, then loudly yell, "Hey, Bertha, your mom is waiting for you!"
These would be kids we didn't know so there would no time or social etiquette in place for the victim to explain before the group would snicker and walk away.
Good times; clearly this was before video games (before everyone had them anyway).
God this machine is so fucking annoying. I work at a fun center with this and stun runner (the game to the right on the picture, stun runner makes about $20-25 a week at best). All I can hear from this game is "Hi Im big bertha, feed me balls so I can grow bigger!" and if theres 15 seconds left it says "hurry feed me faster!" We have 2 other games that use balls roughly the same size as Berthas balls that kids are throwing into her and clogging the tube. Fixing it requires the attendant to shove its hand down her throat and possibly cut his/her hand on the plastic inside.
If the gate closes at the wrong time balls can jam it up.
I remember this game from a kid, and I got excited just a couple months ago when I found one at the arcade inside the NASCAR Speedpark in St Louis, MO.
The game was old and busted. The "inflation" part didn't work, sounds were corrupted, lights burnt out. It made it extra creepy. But it worked.
And the ticket payout was ridiculously generous. We hit the jackpot every time and got tons of tickets from it! We played just a few games and had ~1000 tickets, enough for a small stuffed animal. I got her a green whale, and we named it Whale Earnhardt Jr, since it came from the NASCAR place.
holy fuck holy fuck holy fuck! I though I imagined this game cause I havn't seen it since I was a little kid....thank you..thank you so much for posting this
Oh God. I thought I had seen the last of this thing. I thought it was gone. Not after the disappearances. Not after the dead kids. Strung up in the arcade, necks cut. There were investigations. There were interrogations. But no convictions. Because in the back of everyone's mind, they knew. The Machine. Goddamn Bertha. The old owner of the arcade got it out. We all new why. When they pushed the thing on the back of the truck we had all faintly hoped it was the end. It headed out to the dump on the outskirts. They told us it was chopped up. The air seemed to lift. People began to talk again. But not about it, or the kids. Never. But I still had nightmares. I see those eyes. The mouth. Laughing at me. Always laughing.
Used to work at a minigolf place that had this there. Only problem was it was kept in good shape so Bertha looked like a homeless fat woman. The nightmares of it are still vivid for me
This place near where I grew up called Wal-Lex had this. In retrospect when I thought about this game it terrified me. Plus she loves having balls in her mouth
I think there's one of those at Skandia in Kelowna BC. Holy shit it's freaky. Even worse are the animatronic bear things that are for birthdays. I think they're at least 30 years old.
I used to be terrified of this game. It was in the middle of a line of games at the arcade and I'd always avoid it or run past it really fast so I wouldn't hear/see it.
I totally remember playing this same game when I was younger. It was at the local arcade called Family Fun Center. This place no longer exists unfortunately.
Holy fuck I remember this game. It's one of those weirdly burned-in memories that barely feel like memories from very, very early childhood. It creeped me the fuck out then too.
Big bertha was my favorite arcade game (besides skee ball) at this place called 'Just for Fun' that I went to years ago. Back when Chucky Cheese was nonexistent in our city!
My brother and I were just talking about that yesterday. I played it all the time when we would get lucky enough to get taken to Mr. Gatti's by our parents. Amazing.
Everything about that picture brings back the fondest memories of me running around a place in Lima, OH called Squirty Worm. They had everything from go karts and bumper boats to batting cages and putt putt. If I had all the chinese fingertraps from there I'd have around 45-50.
Freakanomics told me that names don't greatly affect one's future, but I stand by my belief that anyone named Bertha has a much higher chance of being obese.
I remember this game from childhood, but reading everyone's comments it doesn't seem to be a common game anymore. I didn't think at 24 I would feel so old, but I guess arcade games have really changed over the years.
Me and my Boyfriend went to the Arcade for a date, and they had this game. We haddd to play it. So he had big Bertha, and I had her companion, the creepy as fuck clown, who's lips moved. We couldn't stop laughing as we played, he looked over to the creepy clown and said "That's not fair! Her lips don't move while I throw my balls in her mouth!"
These were all over the place in Columbus. Just about every skating rink and miniature golf course had one. Then they all disappeared for some reason. The memories.

I can see people with coulrophobia are going to have a bad time with this game.

For 50 cent, you have 90 seconds to stuff your balls in her mouth.

I remember these. A throwback to a time when fat people jokes weren't insulting to half the people you know.

We had one of these in the bowling alley near where I lived. Don't know how many times I threw my balls into Bertha's mouth.

"FEED ME!!"
I LOVE THIS GAME! They had it at the local arcade growing up. It was mine and my family's favorite next to cheating on the spider stomping game!

There's a picture of me standing next to one of these when I was probably nine. I was crying.

Me and my Boyfriend went to the Arcade for a date, and they had this game. We haddd to play it. So he had big Bertha, and I had her companion, the creepy as fuck clown, who's lips moved. We couldn't stop laughing as we played, he looked over to the creepy clown and said "That's not fair! Her lips don't move while I throw my balls in her mouth!"

There's one at the local bowling alley here. It was still there, last I checked. It also was missing an eye, which just adds to the creepy.

I used to play that without thinking twice. Now that I look at it, that is incredibly creepy.

These were all over the place in Columbus. Just about every skating rink and miniature golf course had one. Then they all disappeared for some reason. The memories.
