Thanks for the link!!! Galaga was my favourite for sure. I used to play that for like 3Hrs straight for only .25 cents. Those were the days...

I used to love super sprint... You guys remember that one? Four people could race against each other and you had to spin those steering wheels like crazy

If you're a fan of retro gaming you MUST check out the documentary "King of Kong" - great movie!!

Excellent flick. Watched the whole thing on Youtube over the summer (it's in 8 parts or so IIRC). Only makes sense to someone who lived through the 80s, and after you've seen "Anchorman" you wonder if the whole thing was real or not.

Man! You were completely ignored there!

Definitely a much better misspent youth than some of us nerdy gamers (I speak for myself only, folks). I had something of a combination. My parents would often kick us out of the house and tell us to play outside until the street lights went on - those were the opportunities to get bruised, scraped and dirty.
