I used to love the arcade! It was called Frosty Putter. It was a mini golf and ice cream place also. I lived to play Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam!!!
We also had one in this shitty mall that was just an arcade. I remember playing X-Men and Ninja Turtles there. They used to have free play on Saturday mornings. You payed $10 and all games had unlimited play for 4 hours or something like that. Good times.
"hear my name, take a good look, this could be the day."
i was more partial to the games in the back of the pizza parlor. speaking of which, remember the days when they (pizza parlors) used to close on mondays?
I don't want to be hostile. I don't want to be dismal. But I don't want to rot in an apathetic existance either.

Yup! I used to do phones for a 'pizza parlor' 1-2 nights on the weekend as a kid... lol chef would always say... "I cant wait til Monday!" Okay Im really going to date myself... our local pizza parlour used to have individual jukeboxes at each table....
My local mall used to have an arcade named Tilt. They had all kinds of good shizz there, including WrestleFest, NBA Jam, MortalKombat (I can still remember being shocked the first time I saw a Fatality) and SFII amongst many others. Even prior to that I would get taken to Major Magic's which was this kid's place/party place where they served copious amounts of pizza and fountain drinks. That's where I honed my TMNT and Simpsons skills. Along with Ninja Gaiden.
Once it was time for Uni, well, there was Pinball Pete's. Hope that place is still around.
Speak for yourself.
While you guys were busy playing, we were checking you out.
haha. Lots of teenage guys in an arcade, girls checking them out, and they have no idea because they have been sucked into the game. The arcade was the one place that something other than girls win over a guy's mind.
