I think the trick would be finding coin op machines in general anymore. They're still out there, but not like they were 20 years ago. Those that are still in existence I'm sure are being retrofitted with applepay/samsumg pay or debit card readers.

I keep my head shaved these days, but I have found that I shave my head every other day or maybe even every third day.....I have to trim my nose hairs, ear hair and eyebrows almost daily. Let's not discuss the "wild pubes" that spontaneously grow 6" long over night, in odd places like the tip of your nose, the middle of your forehead, etc.

Most of my coins went towards Galaga...

TiMSport · 03-09-2021, 09:56 AM

This is another game I spent way too much time on which is even older I think. Note the 3 coin slots. Why did Williams feel it's necessary to have 3 slots to feed quarters?

I remember that game! I was more of a Kung-Fu Master man myself.

An even more frenetic game was Stargate, the sequel to Defender.

Esteban · 03-09-2021, 11:41 AM

And speaking of frenetic, here's a heart attack of a game: Robotron!

You know you're old when you start getting excited over antique video arcade games, lol.

Esteban · 03-09-2021, 11:44 AM

They look (and are) primitive by today's standards but man were they fun!

TiMSport · 03-09-2021, 11:47 AM

Um something tells me this would better be served as a separate thread. LOL.

Nope, I'm good. I figured people that aren't as old or not interested in the classic video games we found ourselves becoming nostalgic over may not have appreciated this as much

Wasn't a big video game player, other than Pac Man when we cut out of HS and went to the bar. And as luck had it, I stayed home the day the principal and some teachers raided said bar during classes.
