RaoulDuke79 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 There was an arcade around my house that used to give free tokens for every A you got on your report card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Anybody remember the arcade @ Como Mall? My Sister & Brother were 5/4 years older than me, so they drove. They would tell my mother that we were going to church. They'd make my azz run in and get a bulletin. The ushers finally wised up and started to hold them to the end of Mass once they figured out what was happening! We'd cut Mass and head to the arcade! LoL Had a Mass bulletin to show our mother as proof! ;-) Then later: I would always play KC on the Ohio Turnpike @ the rest stop when coming back from sounding Toledo Harbor/Maumee Bay, Toussaint River, Western Basin of Lake Erie. One rest stop would have it... I think "Commodore Perry" rest stop. Very addicting. When my son was little, I got the ported version for the home TV. It had a bunch of Sega Genesis games pre installed... Still hooked up... Gotta go play it! It all came back with help of the internet cheat sheets! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I was 11 when pong came out and 18 when space invaders and asteroids came out so not a lot of arcade gaming as a kid. I did dig getting stoned and going to the local bar and playing space invaders and asteroids. pretty challenging games at the time, especially high... 2 of the 3 I listed and yes. Like the emoji hi I knew there was a reason I liked you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyVanMiller Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Also loved the game Street Football by Bally. Especially for the naked lady that you can see in this video, look at the window on the left when the kid scores the first TD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6bqphDKxHQ Edited September 29, 2017 by ChevyVanMiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCBillsFan Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I can't link pics but I loved: Centipede Dig Dug Joust Dragons Lair Donkey Kong Tron I'm sure there's more but those are off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Growing up? I remember when Pong came out. Whooppee! Space Invaders (my all-time favorite) was part of our big Friday night out at Ruby Tuesdays when I first got married. A couple beers for me, a strawberry daiquiri for her, and we'd split an appetizer. We were poor, and we knew it. But we didn't have any less fun.

Bray Wyatt Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Best game ever made. My brother bought one of these for like $250 a few years ago now, but was lots of fun to play Also he bought a marvel vs Capcom as he loved that game too Edited September 29, 2017 by Bray Wyatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
