The Gold Mine was my favorite, but I would have to slide down to Jolly Cholly's to play Time Pilot and mack on the honeys playing Skee Ball in the front.

Boot Hill was the first game that I played at the Gold Mine.

Track and field was my favorite. My friend and I mastered the "butter knife" technique to add speed.


Yep.

Use your index and middle finger as a pivot point and crush this game with something like a knife or other home-made bar.


A popsicle stick was perfect for this.

Arcades actually started popping up around the late seventies. They were a lot of fun.
