I actually bought an Arcade One standup machine about a year ago that has Joust, Defender, Rampage, Wizard Of War, 3 Mortal Combats (that are impossibly hard for some reason), Paperboy, and a couple of other games. I think it says Midway 40th anniversary 12 games. I mainly got it for Defender, Joust, and Wizard Of War. I always loved playing Defender at the arcade. I wasn't very good at it but I thought it was a cool game. One other game on there is Rootbeer Tapper. I don't remember this game from back in the day but I find it very fun and addictive.

I also ended up buying a machine that a company in Tampa, Fl. built for me that has something like 400+ games. It has all the Donkey Kongs (mainly why I got this particular one), all the Pac Mans, Galaga, Galaxian, Zaxxon, and whole bunch of other stuff. It even has games like Centipede, Millipede, Tron, etc. but without the trackball or the knob, those games don't play very well. Still, a lot of good stuff from my childhood that I couldn't have imagined at the time that I'd have all of those in a standup arcade in my basement someday.

That's a wicked cool machine man. Paperboy is a great game.

This was mine.

That's another one I dumped a bunch of quarters into.

Never heard of it. Is the premise that you go around the neighborhood delivering news papers and end up banging a bunch of hot MILFs?

BTW, if anyone is interested, this is the company I used for that second machine I mentioned.

When my oldest was around 10 I took him to the video store (before they became extinct) and rented him a game. He played about about 30 minutes and started bitching that it sucked.

I broke out the original Atari 2600 and hooked it up. It was comical for the first 10 minutes. He needed to pause it to go to the bathroom I explained he couldn't. That pissed him off. When the game was over he asked how to save it...no go, have to start over. He decided he was done with it....I made him play another hour :)

When all was said and done he decided the game I rented for him wasn't so bad.

You should get your son to play Crawl with you.

Here is something me a my buddies couldn't walk by without slamming quarters into.
The terrible audio of the crowd going nuts, the greasy dome...ah yeah...good times.

I just can't play games anymore.

Since I'm stuck at home now my wife keeps trying to get me to so I have something to pass the time. When I was in my 20s it would have been a wet dream to have someone try and convince me to.

Maybe I'll try again today.

Between what my oldest left here and what my youngest has there is well north of 100 games and I can't find one to interest me.

You should take up watching porn

You're assuming I haven't

Pitfall at a friends house is the first game I remember. Or maybe it was Mario Bros.

Pretty sure pitfall came before Mario bros

Crawl is a asymmetric retro dungeon crawler where one player is the "hero" and the remaining players are monsters trying to kill him. Pretty fun.
