Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for November 21, 2013

Hey! I know Mr. Beat!

I am more impressed he has a real arcade around. A little work and Roy could build the correct controls Defender, Pac-man and Centipede. A two way controller, a 4 way controller and a trackball, some buttons and the correct circuit board is all he needs. I know, I helped a friend rebuild a Defender a few mouths ago. It wasn’t hard, either.

Playing Zaxxon might be fun again.

These places could allow a guy human interaction without actual socializing, much.

the only arcade now is in a “fun” zone/bumper bowling/go kart/mini golf/family entertainment center(no booze). miss the days of killer instinct(cccombo breaker, ultra combo), nba jam, street fighter 2, and mortal kombat.

Gorf was my game.

Joust!

Well shoot, you gotta spend your money on SOMETHING. Might as well be on something that’s fun!

Denver has a great arcade. All the classics plus a full bar. (just for vwdualnomand)

Nice Elijah Wood cameo!

Predate all of that with playing pinball machines in the hat shop.

Ah, that arcade atmosphere…

I know how it feels Roy.

There’s a new bar in Columbus, Ohio called 16-bit arcade. It has old school arcade games, pinball and drinks. Best of all worlds!

That was decades ago. I would love to find the copy of the magazine it was it. It was cool to see. That and scoring a goal on the fooseball world champs was my claim to fame back then.

A free Interactive story by me. You can control how it flows.

I was never good at video games. I don’t have great hand-eye coordination. I like the store in the background, though… ITZA DOLLAR. I suppose it’s right next to a branch office of Dewey, Cheatem and Howe.

I’m with Roy. It’s just not the same playing those old games on new devices. >Sigh.< I miss arcades. Maybe I’ll look up that place jimmyh mentioned.
