Many a Saturday Night was Spent

[cobrastrikelead]

Eating pizzia, drinking green pop of ambiguous origin and playing Defender, Asteroids, and Centipede. I had the bad habit of taking my Defender fighter in low and run over the people on the planet-surface you were supposed to be protecting in the first place. Or hitting hyper-space and ending up in the middle of a swarm of landers. But for 25 cents you could be back up in the thick of it in a couple seconds.

When scramble came out I spent $20 of quarters in one night.

I use to play this game called Rip Off, me and my friend were really good. It was a high speed vector graphics game where there were ten or so triangle containers in the center of the screen. YOu had to protect them from squadrons of enemy ships that would try to steal them. I could play until the that phrenic(?) acid would build in my muscles and literally it would stop the electrical impulses to my arms. My brain could not make my arms move at all!

I loved those games. The only one I didn't like was
scramble. It gave me a headache.

Am glad that there was a logical explanation for it. Wondered how I could be so out of shape to get wore out playing video-games.

[cobrastrikelead]

feel to it. But those Robotrons that you couldn't destroy no matter what was a little bit unfair. Or so it seemed.

WOW, Rip Off

I remember that ... jeez that was a long time ago.

lactic acid build up ...only one cure... excercise, the more you excercise the more your body produces red blood cells that carry oxygen to your muscles the longer you can last at playing your video games

mmmm sore wrists gee thomas I wonder why ?

My favorite was called spider...but I was the only girl in the video arcades, hard to walk in there all by yourself with the strip club right next door...but then my mother bought a whole bunch of computer games.... I can still play for hours and hours in fact it's so bad my boyfriend put a password on the computer so I can't access them anymore the last one to really captivate me though was MYST not very sci-fi or fast paced thougn...
