TMNT or the Simpsons are the ones that got the most quarters out of me.

This game took so much of my money.
that game was everything. it marked a massive jump. like going from atari to intellivision. maybe even a bigger leap. we had such a great little strip mall in our hood. ben franklin. rows of penny candy. panteras pizza next to it. what a hunk. delicious pizza to grade schoolers with a pitcher of mountain dew. then the dragon's lair next to it. in front of the store they had three games. dragon's lair. dirk. and it was fifty cents. then pole position. and mike tyson's punch out. then in the middle of the room a bunch of tables where people were playing the OG d&D. nerds painting their little people. then in the back of the room another big table where a bunch of marvs played war games.
we would do ANYTHING to get quarters for dragon's lair. once we stole a bunch of empty bottles of the pepsi truck at the grocery store across the street and redeemed them for quarters. worked like a charm. so we just kept doing it until we got busted. was horrible.
we would take the bus to six flags. get there and go straight to the arcade and play dragon's lair. not ride a single ride. just play that damn game. then take the bus back home.
no one will tell me kids have it better today
@squeakyclean we had a beercade in town that you could pay $5 for all you could play arcade games. TMNT, space jam, mortal kombat, hell, even froger, all for $5. It was the best.
They closed and I guess have opened back up in a bar that nobody really goes to other then concerts, so haven't been since they moved.
@boogie this is here in the central west end. My ex and I went one night. It was fun for an hour or so. She got bored. Wont let me post. It’s called Up Down Stl. Over 21. Ski ball. Every arcade game. Classic games. Huge. Drinks. Made to look like somewhere you’d go out not an arcade.
but she didn’t like it. You don’t put on a dirty dress expecting $25 dirty martinis and want to play Fing asteroids and pole position.
anyway it’s just another piece in the puzzle that leads to one very basic conclusion
STAY SINGLE KINGS!!!
