Anyone remember this cheating arse baseball game?

u would get the lead and suddenly Rudi Stein is on the mound and your outfield is Lupus and Ogilve

Think it's more about meeting small groups at appointed times.

Cruising was awesome. You never knew who you would meet or how the night would go. 3-4 guys in a car, loud music, adult beverages and probably some street pharmaceuticals

Makes me kinda sad that these kids will never know what they're missing.

And I can't help but wonder if had kids nowadays spent their teen years cruising, interacting face to face with their peers, and generally hanging out like we did back then, would they still be a giant collection of pussies, unable to cope with the real world, getting "triggered", and needing "safe spaces"?

I remember the Simpsons arcade. I know it wasn't 80s but played the hell out of it

Galaga was an awesome game. Was eating lunch in R&O's yesterday and on my way out noticed Galaga. I will be making a return visit

had to let them capture one of your ships, then you could rape in challenge stages.

This was my video game crack...

Zaxxon!

I remember when I played centerpede, my hand would get pinched at least 10 times per game while rolling that "ball" to move my spaceship. remember that?

There's a brewery in Houston that has 80s and 90s arcades. They all cost .25

Went there a few years ago. It was like time travel. Loved arcade games in the 80s. Spent more hours playing than I can possibly count. My favorites were:

Pac Man
Ms. Pac Man
Donkey Kong
Joust
Asteroids
Defender
Tempest
Robotron: 2084
Phoenix
