Title: Get Your Quarters!!!!!!
Post by: AKKuya on January 10, 2017, 07:38:10 PM

Those of us who remember the greatest game show on TV is returning to the airwaves.

I once played Galaga 20 years ago where I came 13,000 points from rolling the score over a million.  45 minutes of tapping that button. Before cell phone cameras were common.  987,000 points.  Best 25 cents spent!!!!!

Working in the vending industry for the last 35 years I have had the chance to save a few of these games. I have two cabinets. In one I have NBA jam, Xmen , Tiger Shark, Rampart. Super Mario, F1, Nintendo Tennis, Centipede, CapCom Bowling and I think one other.

As my company "upgraded" to newer games I tried to bring the old boards home. I built a rig in the cabinets that even my kids could use to swap from game to game.

Graphics are cool and all, but the old games had more to them and will always have a spot in the gaming around our house.

As I always say.... Asteroids was my game of choice in those days. I have a very small program now that runs on its own without being intalled on Windows that emulates Asteroids perfectly. I have had it for years now and still enjoy it.
