| Nice topic chef.
I played a tonne of Centipede, Galaxian (Canadian Galaga) and 1942.
We should be reminded that even though games now cost $60 it is still cheaper than back in the day overall. If I have a bad game, just throw another quarter in and try again. |

| Battlezone was my worst addiction. Followed by Track & Field. I put a fair number of tokens into Space Invaders, Star Castle, Asteroids, Defender and Pac-Man as well. |

| I always put quarters into Skee-Ball. I was never as good as my dad though... he excels in all underhanded sports/activities you can think of... Skee-Ball/Bowling/Horseshoes/Bocce, he destroys everyone he plays, and smiles while he does it. |

| I remember pumping quarters into Gauntlet at the local pizza joint. They didnt get mad at us for being there all the time as long as we bought a slice or something. "Warrior needs food badly". I cant count how many different games i feed. Mortal Kombat,X-Men,Time Crisis,Terminator 2 were a few of the "newer" ones i played alot. |
