Sweat - never played in Montreal - but brings back memories - changing bills for quarters, and the style.
Should have a pin meeting where we dress-up as in the 80's... and only 80's era games... |

That's awesome, thanks for sharing the find.
Man, I wish those days never died.. being only 32, I can only remember the seedier, darker days of arcades.. when they became drug havens. |

I grew up in Calgary. Arcades in malls were always clean and trouble free. The local ones aournd my house were great and no problems. Even the massive one on 8th Ave was fantastic. Now the one on what is now the LRT route....oh boy. Even going to it, you were asked if you wanted drugs. Duane |

I like your thinking. I'll have to look for my sweet thin black leather tie and a red shirt with black pants. I was a chick magnet in the 80s  Oh how times have changed  ! Duane |

Wow. Memories!
That brings up a question I keep forgetting to ask. Can you realistically play Tempest on a MAME arcade bab without a spinner? |
