| 2492 | Article | Vaporman87 | Beautifully written story, onipar (though one would expect it to be so; you being an author). The plight of a childhood spent someplace like Brooklyn is about as unfamiliar to me as such a thing could be. But the fear of a local bully is pretty universal, so I can relate to this story. I love these lines - "...lifting him off the ground and encasing him in clam-stank..." "...he was probably just late for a midday stabbing at the park..." Thanks for sharing! | Aug 10, 2015 |  | |
| 2491 | Article | Vaporman87 | I'm going to throw my hat into the ring for the change machines. Then at least the quarters were still legal tender. :) | The Mall Arcade | Aug 09, 2015 | |
| 2490 | Article | massreality | kstrom22: I totally forgot to write about the carpet. Man did they have some strange patterns. I personally preferred token machines. I thought they were much cooler and it was more special than a regular old quarter. Of course, as I got older, I realized how much money I lost using token machines. Sometimes I'd walk out with a few extras in my pocket and despite my best interests, I never brought them back with me. I think they usually ended up in a change jar and were only found whenever I'd go use the Coinstar. | The Mall Arcade | Aug 08, 2015 | |
| 2489 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Touching story. Having your own personal "Battle Cat" must have been pretty fun. Loved the Altered Beast mash-up idea your young brain came up with. | Summer of Sheeba | Aug 08, 2015 | |
| 2488 | Article | kstrom22 | I love this article, and I love the (remaining) true and old arcades. The one nearest my house has what I can only describe as an SNES store demo. You can play either Super Mario World, The Addams Family, or F-Zero. It's killer. It seems like all Arcades have that same "dizzy patterned carpet," why do you think that is? Here's a possibly controversial question, which are better, token-exchange machines, or quarter change-maker machines? My brother and I were always on different sides of the debate... | The Mall Arcade | Aug 08, 2015 | |
| 2487 | Article | massreality | Thanks everybody. echindna64: I originally had a huge write up on Area 51, since it was my favorite arcade game. However, it came out a few years after the time period of this article, and I actually never played Area 51 in an arcade. Only in movie theaters. It was such a great game, I even bought it on PC. | The Mall Arcade | Aug 07, 2015 | |
| 2486 | Article | onipar | Oh yeah, those winter gloves! I loved hypercolor AND the gloves. It was brilliant. I think I was still young enough that sweaty pits didn't bother me much :-) | Do You Remember: HyperColor Shirts | Aug 07, 2015 | |
| 2485 | Article | OldSchool80s | Enjoyed reading this. Nice work! Have some awesome 80s memories of going to the arcade and Showbiz Pizza. I also remember the tabletop Ms. Pac-Man at Pizza Hut, but never realized that was a universal thing. | The Mall Arcade | Aug 07, 2015 | |
| 2484 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wouldn't it have been fun to brag to other kids about how your mom could kick their mom's butt, knowing she had the skills to back that up. LOL. "My mom is a black belt in Karate... she could whip your mom's butt!" "Oh yeah! Well my mom is an alien with super powers. She could melt your mom's face!" "Seriously... my mom is a black belt." "Oh yeah, well... I bet she cooks bad. Yeah." | The Karate Class Kid | Aug 07, 2015 | |
| 2483 | Article | Vaporman87 | Hunting historical treasure, even in the form of information and education, still can be fun. I know when I was a kid, I really did not care to visit a museum on a field trip, or have guides go on and on about the history of a monument. But as an adult, those things have taken on new meaning and importance. Especially local history which tends to be easily lost to that of national history. | Digging for Treasure | Aug 07, 2015 | |
