Are there door prizes for people that dress in 80's fashion?

Even today, I keep the Tempest widget on my Google desktop - Not quite the same on a keypad, without a 'dial' to spin, but still my all-time fave.

I wondered why the Super7 7th is June 7, instead of a month later - I might have expected it to be 7.7 at 7, but it could have something to do with 6.7 being a Saturday, and 7.7 being a Monday. Or maybe June is the actual anniversary month ...

Kudos again to stealthtank for figuring out the Hull Building puzzle!

I love Joust!
I can also hold my own on Ms. Pac Man...
I love Donkey Kong, but I'm totally horrible on it, these days.

Post Re: Flynn's Arcade:
we have joust and frogger in the office kitchen. one bulgarian chick thinks the mario bros. game (original bump the turtle from beneath and kick for coin game) is called "mario bras". i love misinterpretations made by foreigners, except when i happen to be one.

tangent aside, i will be there as it will be my one year anniversary of buying anything from Super7 (first time was last anniv party). super excited!

Still there I believe. Barcade! Fun place till the Bloods show up :shock:
I think toys and arcade games are the ultimate though. Wish I could be there.

I sucked at most of those games but got pretty good at Ms. Pac Man. :oops: As a result, the "music" from that game is permanently stuck in my head. I also liked ... what was it called, Battlezone? The wireframe sci-fi tank simulation. Eerie.

Coincidentally, I have been looking into buying a Tron game for the store. I would love a discs of tron with the full size cabinet. I also used to love that game especially the bad ass glowing joystick.

the standing disc version would be hard-to-come-by and expensive i imagine...

i bet the regular version with the multi-games would be easier to source...although the over-sized joystick may be hard to find in good condition...the joystick on the one at my old house was patchy sometimes (it got bashed a lot on the laser cycle game)...

There's an upright version in Pennsylvania for $1500 on the bay. I have been drooling over it for awhile. Maybe one day..
