Some arcade nostalgia.

My favorite at putt putt


When I was a kid the local car club met at Shakey's pizza and my dad would give me a roll of quarters during the meeting while they ate pizza and drank beer. I spent hours playing The simpsons and Skee Ball.



The ball pit was next to the skee ball and inevitably the balls would end up under the skee ball so the owner of the place would pay us car club kids in tokens to clean out underneath the skee ball machines lol

I've got an original Hard Drivin' in my garage. Still the most realistic driving game IMO.

Tornado Terry's and TILT in NEMall

More my speed.

I've been wanting to build a pc for one lately. With so many platformer games coming out on steam, and fighting games like Mortal Kombat, and Injustice, I think it'd be awesome to have one that can also connect to the internet for multiplayer.

So I bought this Midway game I was talking about, and Jesus, these games are fucking retarded hard. Like so ridiculously hard they aren't really even that fun. Guess I forgot how many quarters I had to pump in to keep them going back in the 80's. Glad it was only $15.

Tornado Terry's is in Keller, and TILT is gone.

Completely understand that.

Op's question was

I remember going to the Arcades as a kid, Texas Games and Putt-Putt both in Arlington. Two of my favorites... What were yours?

to which my reply was catered.

Does anyone want my NES game genie?

I bought the arcade versions of mortal kombat on PC. Same story, retarded difficulty level and the cheapest AI that you have ever seen. Those things were designed to steal your quarters.

I spent a king's ransom playing Race Drivin' at Putt Putt one year...

I could play that F1 multi-player game all fucking night at Putt Putt... there were 8 "cars" lined up side by side, and if you took first, you didn't have to pay. I used to whip some ass on that one.

We played the fuck out of some NBA Jam

Street Fighter II was obviously a big one

One I was thinking about this morning from WAY back that I hadn't thought of in a long time was APB.

I could also fuck some shit up on the original arcade Tecmo Bowl

[LS1Goat]

My favorite was Zaxxon.
