re: Played Galaga all week at beach rental

Sky Shark was quite an addiction of mine in the 80’s

Fun. I used to do great finger work on asteroids

There's a local arcade where I live, a lot of my son's friend's/classmates have bday parties there. They have an old school galaga machine. I can't get through two rounds without getting arthritis/carpal tunnal/ wrist AIDS.

Joust was The best

Dragons Lair was the goat

No wonder this planet is going to shite. Men, instead of doing manly things does kiddy things. Grow up dammit!

My high score was over 550k and the best I could do was 2nd. The guy that worked at the Arcade would flip the score. He would have to quit the game and go clock in lol.

Used to be a guy in Pensacola who advertised on CL and sold refurbed full size cabinet models. His would have several different controls and like 60 different games from that time frame. Weren’t super expensive as I recall. $12-1500? Should have bought one but no real good place to put it where I was living then.
