"people also need to try to find classic arcades near them, anyone that can get to the funspot in new hampshire should make their way their sometime, tokens can be had for as little as 12 cents each
you haven't played after burner, space harrier, thunder blade, or outrun until you've played it in the real sit down cabinet seriously they must be played in thier proper form to be fully enjoyed, hydraulics in them are just too sweet"
I had not thought to mention arcades at all. After Burner was fun, and a dollar a game!!! Wallet drainer. I had two friends growing up who found $1,000. They did not want to turn it in (this was wrong of them) and knew if they spent the money there parents would ask, "where did you get that?" So they blew the whole thousand in one day at the mall. They gave money away to friends they saw, and played arcades. My friend Andy sat in After Burner with $100 in quarters and played till the $100 was gone.
True story. The only thing either of them bought was a small tape recorder (like the ones for recording college lectures) and The Legend of Zelda. I was not with them to cash in that day, but did end up with Zelda as I was the only one with a Nintendo.
Got side tracked, sorry.
Other neat arcades: Dragon's Lair I and II (only ever saw part two at one arcade growing up, and have never seen it since.)
