re: 80s Arcade Throwback Thread

Spent a lot of time and money in the Swamp and Alladins Castle in the Southland Mall.

My friends and I used to take the trails from our neighborhood through Oakshire to the mall. We knew we werent supposed to, but we did it anyway, and somehow never got caught.

I put many a quarter into those frickers.

Spent an assload of money at Aladdins Castle at the Acadiana Mall. I wore the original X-Men game out.

At the Arcade on Vets near Dorignacs in Metairie played the original Asteroids then Missle Command then Pac Man then Donky Kong. Also loved the old time baseball machines. After that we would ride our bikes to Bat Bat on Airline Hwy and hit real baseballs. They even had a machine with a catchy name that threw 100 mph. Does anybody remember that pitching machines name?

Galaga and Joust were favorites in the 80s. In the 70s, I thought I was a badass playing Death Race at the Miracle Strip’s arcade in Panama City. It was a very controversial game at the time. Games sure have changed since then.

Oh shite i forgot about ikari warriors

The 7-11 store my grandpa used to stop at to buy his old charter and king edward cigars had a splatterhouse arcade game. Dropped quite a few quarters in that thing.

Starting going to the Putt-Putt on Vets after school to play Video Games. They were the only one, that I knew of, that had Tempest. I also played Donkey Kong and killed it at Defender.

Spent many hours there. I think Corn Dog 7 is still using the same oil today they used in the 80’s.
