re: Nostalgia thread from 70's, 80's and now 90s and dare we? Yes the 00s!

Cocktail video games are maybe the 80's-est thing of all. I remember going to some pretty nice restaurants that had cocktail versions of Galaga, Pac Man, ect., but a really iconic one was Joust, the only cocktali game that was side by side.



But my absolute 80's P2P favorite was Cinematronics Space Wars, in which you and your buddy chased each other around the screen in an Asteroids clone ship vs. what looked like a stick figure version of the Starship Enterprise. It was always hilarious, but the best part was that your ship could be hit and sustain only partial damage, making comeback victories all the more glorious. This one was in the old LaPromenade Mall in Lafayette, Quarter Til, right across from Sang Lee's tae kwon do studio, immediately to the left as you entered the room. Like it was yesterday.
