one mans personal vintage 80's arcade.

This is awesome, memories of wasted youth at the local bowling alley pocket full of 20c coins and the smell of stale cigarette smoke mixed with some horrible industrial strength cleaner. There's a few vids of this blokes collection on youtube apparently he opens it up every now and then for the public to have a play.

That is flipping awesome. Was watching Tron yesterday, Flynn's Arcade looked similar to that. Arcades today arent the same. Loved how they crammed as many games in as they could.

I miss the arcade.

Any of you used to spin 10 cent coins down the dollar slots to get sly credits? Or use a bit of heavy fishing line (With a kink in it so it looked like a hook) to jig it?
The second way I mentioned you used to be able to rack up shitloads of credits...max it out usually... by whipping the bit of line in and out of the coin slot. Got back all the coin we spent on them over the years, or at least the equivelant..free credits :lol: :lol: :lol:

We used to use the electric clickers out of hot water systems or electric lighters, 99 credits on 1942, Ghosts and Ghouls and choplifter kept me entertained for hours. :lol: **** I am a thieving convict!!

I've been playing 1942, 1943 & Ghosts, Commando loads lately bought the classics Capcom for my old PS2. I strangely remember those games being easier for some reason
