Pinball- specifically Satin Doll. I own it. Satin Doll and I spent many happy hours together during my college years so I bought one. One of my most treasured possessions.
I actually went to Dave & Busters a couple of weekends ago just to blow off some steam because it had been a really rough week and a movie wasn't going to cut it. Aside from it being a gigantic germfest with thousands of disgusting surfaces, I played a lot of Skeeball. The virtual reality driving/zombie hunting games are great too.
What a fun question! My husband and I have actually had this conversation. It’s Space Invaders for both, and Ms. Pac-Man for me, and Karate Champ for him. As a side note, does anyone else recall the distinct smell of an arcade? Let’s not even think about the creepy old guy who was always the attendant.
A friend of mine collects old popular arcade games and pinball machines. He put them all in this warehouse and throws parties there. The next day I can barely move because of all the hours I played pinball. I regress back to childhood for a night and LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT!
Cocktailhour-- Im with ya! I was obsessed with QBert as arcade game and on Atari! I even tried to convince my parents that I needed the arcade model as a birthday present one year, but was rightfully told I was delusional.
I loved a lot of those older games...Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man. This makes me want to dump my piggy bank and look for quarters. Life really changed once that hunt was bc of laundry.
Q*Bert and Joust. Honorable mention: Ladybug, a Pac-Man derivative that was kind of hard to find, but incorporated a few cool twists including the ability to win free games (not that I ever came close).
Gosh, Sandy didn't think you were that old. Yeah I played Pong in some club in the mid '70's. Also stressed over pacman/ms.pacman later that decade. Now I play NO video or computer games. Real life gives me enough brain games.
