I was just thinking about the old arcades the other day!
Like you, I miss the environment of the arcade. Back when the place was packed and there was a big ol' group of people around the new game.
When I was fairly young there was an arcade called The Dream Machine in one mall, and another place called Space Port at our big mall. As a teenager though, I spent the most time in the arcade of our local bowling alley.
Off the top of my head? The games I remember most?
1. Track and Field. The one with two buttons - not the track ball version! This was actually in a nearby laundramat.
2. Karate Champ. This game was in a convenience store called "The Nite Owl". I used to ride my bike to go play this one. Ahhhh, the memories!
3. The sit-down Spy Hunter.
4. I barely remember the stand-up Tron machine.
5. Mortal Kombat 1 and 2. There always used to be a big circle around this game. I used to love watching the
good
people play it.
6. NBA Jam. My buddy Jason would play that
constantly
!
7. World Cup Soccer pinball (1992?). I LOVED that game!
8. Attack From Mars pinball and the sequel Revenge From Mars. Those games were soooo funny! I used to play them in the UMO arcade when I was in college. I'd be laughing my ass of playing it in between classes.
