Another part of my childhood is gone.
I spent too many hours skipping school and giving this guy my life savings twenty-five cents at a time.
Good times. I wouldnt change a thing.
RIP.
For those people who miss these games and if you live in Houston, there is a place called The Game Preserve in The Woodlands. The Game Preserve has all the coin operated video games and pinball machines you can ask for. You pay $15 to get in and play to your mind’s content. They have a juke box that has all the music from the 80’s and 90’s and the place is very nostalgic. Kind of like Flynn’s in Tron.
I remember using up quarters in the 1980s playing PacMan. I still play it, have an app on my iPad, and a couple modern game machines that have a thousand games built in including PacMan. But the ones in the arcades were the best to play.
I had what they call a bo sod eks ffksas lllsd thing
