People who play Frisbee across bike path, even on July 4th, are prime candidates for the Darwin Award. That is all.

No love for Defender? I am surprised. We had a Defender and a Centipede game at the Food Town in Hartland, Michigan when I was a kid. I didn't like the roller ball controller for Centipede, so I played Defender.

Thunderstorms just rolled thru, another day another inch of rain. Keeping me from getting my slab ready to pour. So I'm drinking rum and Pepsi Throwback, mighty tasty

Time for me to fly. We're bringing one of our medevac helicopters to Earth, TX for their 4th of July parade and barbeque. They told us to come hungry.

Too bad we can't enjoy the beer, too!

Happy Independence Day to everyone.

30 by 34 shop, place to get a vehicle into out of the cold and a place for my tools. Going to try and use solar to keep it from freezing, we'll see how it works

Knowing how shops go, you might as well make it 30 by 35.

I'm putting a 12 by 30 open wall addition on one side already wood shed, tractor storage, whatever else

Evening, Lodge! Hope you're having a fun 4th of July!

Nice poll. Suddenly I'm in the mood to play Space Invaders.

Pole is missing the following:
- Hang-On/Super Hang-On (yes, I'm a Sega fanboy, how'd you ever guess?)

I wasted a lot of money on that one.

- Paperboy

I think I kept dying on Wednesday-Thursday - I hated how you didn't get credited with a delivery if the paper went into the garage.

- Marble Madness

This game is pure evil.

- TMNT: the Arcade Game

Took about $3 worth of quarters, but I beat that *'ing game.

- Bubble Bobble

I don't think I ever played this in an arcade - only on NES.

- Gauntlet

This is another game that is pure evil.

As long as we're on the topic of old-school arcade games, I would like to introduce you to MAME.

MAME and other assorted emulators rule.

Oh, Twitch, you and Mookie might like this one: on my MAME, I have some sort of Japanese draw poker/slot version of a game. But every time you get enough points to get to another level (each winning hand is worth x amount of points), a cartoon woman takes off an article of clothing, and things uh....happen with her (ex: one level, the girl rubs herself). It's friggin' bizarre and creepy.

My friends and I would always make someone play it, if they were drunk and hadn't played it before. The results are hilarious. Most of the time the first words out of their mouths are "What the F---?!?!?!"

Other than that, yeah, the usual old-school arcade games, some of which have Japanese or turbo versions.

GUN DEALER!

Basically Tetris combined with poker. It drops cards on you, and you clear rows by making poker hands.

Wish I could find it on YouTube...God I'm a nerd.
