Ok Ok I don't expect this thread too last too long, but I think a quick thread during times where people may have a little more time off could be nostalgic for some of us

I used to collect cool drink bottles, sell "pet rocks" & wash cars before I hit the big time of selling newspapers as a paper boy in the early 80's. A lot of that money went on computer games & pinnies. The typical 20c per shot kind. But I'd like to see this thread expand out from the Pinball Parlours -> Arcades -> Consoles/PC Gaming

Its not for everyone, but there are few who have not enjoyed at least one of the genres

I've been an electronic gamer since a good friend got an Atari 2600 in 1979 & local shops typically deli's & food outlets had them out for people to play while they waited for their food to be cooked. Sadly I can't think of a place within 20k that has one now, I think a lot have been snapped up by enthusiasts like my uncle who used to repair them for Time Zone. I enjoy popping into arcades in Tokyo & Lippo Mall Bali to sit in a car type game with steering wheel & throttle (no break required haha).

But anyway, my faves...

Loved playing this at Ballcatta Rollerdrome (Perth Roller Skating Rink)


Simple graphics, epic sound


LOved the music, I fully mastered this game. Was stoked to see it come to the Commodore 64


Bought a Commodore 64 after hard saving my paperboy money. So many good games, loved this one


Skipping ahead a ton of games to another console. One of my fave games on the Sega Megadrive apart from Sonic & GhostGoblins


Skipping a ton of Playstation 1 games also to an epic PC game. Just too many awesome games to play these days & thats why I have to cut short lol not that it is...but yeah love being able to exercise the body with surfing & exercise the mind with games. Pretty much the ultimate to 2 extremes imo...vegging out to what they wanna tell you on tv is no comparison imo...
