It figures. Spectrum sucks! Luckily I've seen this fight many times. I can still see it, but not the same without sound.

I think it's my channel here, because the commercials are silent as well.

Started on Pong, Space Invaders, Zaxxon, etc.

Used to go to an all night arcade, then off to work the next morning.

I never got quite that hooked but I had a pinball 'thing' for a while and spent a lot of time in arcades. Pong was the first video game I saw, but it opened a floodgate.

I could have paid cash for a down payment on a brand new M2 Comp with the money I spent on pinball back in the day.

Isn't it hard to squish those slimy things into the slot? And do they work once you get them in?

I used to look for quarters in the coin return slots in all the video game machines at the typical mall arcades back in the day and always found enough to keep me going for a good while. I guess that counts as being old? Who the hell looks for quarters in coin return slots anymore?
