re: Arcade Memories...What games do you remember playing the 70’s and 80's?

Arcades were basically just a Mall thing for most.

For me not being close enough to a mall to go to without someone driving me, I found arcade games at local places...and most had them. Local Time Saver always had a game near the counter, and it rotated every 6 months or so. first time I played Asteroids was there.

Later we had a K&B open nearby and for some odd reason they set up an arcade game there back by the magazine section. tons of games rotated through there.

Joust
Mario Brothers
Donky Kong
Q*Bert
Journey (The band had a game)
But my favorite was Gyruss and it stayed there a while and I got good at it. Eventually that became "my" game and I'd seek it out at arcades and then own the game for 45 minutes stretches.



I keep threatening to get a full size cabinet made and sit it in my office.
