Born in the 80s crowd (previously known as the 30s thread)

2LiveCrew was what had me laughing for curse words. But I first heard the f bomb from The Doors song "The End". Back on the topic of Arcades, I had a special quarter that would give me credit but would not stay in the machine. It was a Canadian coin. Got banned from the Double Deal Pizza when they caught me using it after months of not making any coin from me. I beat Rampage.

 

Speaking of arcades, I haven't seen a new game in an arcade in years. That could have more to do with me living in rural Kentucky though than anything else. It's nice though because sometimes, I still see the classics. I need to remember my quarters though.

 

The only new coin operated "games" I've seen, at least new to what I've seen, ia pinball. It seems like there's still a lot of themoney out and new ones coming out.

 

I just off a cruise. When I got on, I read they had an arcade. I went to it and didn't see any of the old classics. Then, one night, I'm sitting and drinking, and I hear the distinct sound of Ms. PacMan in the distance. I was on a mission and finally found it. Never had to wait in line to play.lol

 

Still only a quarter?

 

No. Can you believe it? It was a dollar per person, per game. I was shocked.

 

20 minutes in and pretty good so far!

 

I'd give it a shot. On Netflix?

 

Not sure if it's on Netflix

 

I'll take a look around for it. Dazed and Confused is a great. So I'll definitely check this out.

 

Yeah Dazed is one of my favorites.

 

I've been meaning to watch this one for awhile. Totally forgot about it until now. Thanks!

 

Cassettes making a comeback?

I don't think cassettes will ever make a come back. Reason why, see below.

Nobody in the world ever wants to deal with having to wind up their cassette tape again. Those days are dead and gone, and for a good reason.

 

Think I might have had to do that only once.

It fucking has Excitebike........I'M IN ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

 

$60, then $10 more for another controller... Fuck that.

I've seen this thing posted everywhere and it's neat and all, but way too expensive for what it is. Plus most NES games can be played online or you can get emulators and do it that way. The Wii makes for an excellent emulator machine and you can get those used, with 2 controllers for the same price.

Some people pay more for 1 game and don't play it all that much. I'm not sweating $70 as I plan on getting my moneys worth out of it. Plus that price will dive after a year or so. I want to build a retro arcade machine for my house, this and a TV is all I really need. Plus wood.
