Retro Arcade Afternoon Write-Up Part II

Electro-mechanical Boogaloo!

The madness continues!

They had a Root Beer Tapper, which I tried and did not get very far with. And right next to it:

720, a skateboarding video game by Atari. Odd play controls on that, and a weird cabinet, but I like the fake cassette tape in the fake boom box. Nice touch & nice art. I see what you did there, Atari.

Then there was this guy, Circus Charlie. This had the vibe of a fake 80's arcade game for children that you'd make up for a movie. Cute marquee art, though.

And they had an Arkanoid! CRT was not in great shape. It is a slow game, but I do like it. Nice sounds & music. This one was on an awkward and slow level (28?).

Elton John's Capt. Fantastic pinball machine by Bally. Possibly the most self-referential pinball machine ever made. It's pin-ception.

Couple more electro-mechanical pinballs: Surf Champ and Paul Bunyan. Pretty old, and sadly, not working at this time.

But Road Race was working! The flipper action seemed a little weak, but I recall this having a particularly nice dinging bell / chime sound every time the score increased.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Centipede. Which I haven't touched in forever, but I got a decent score on! Made the high scores list! Which was exceedingly difficult to photograph!

Missile Command! A major historical, early and intriguing game that I don't think I'd played maybe more than a few seconds of before. Also seen in Terminator 2, I believe. Fitting. I did not get a decent sore on this. That is one super chonky trackball, too.

To be continued!

Getting a F1 reference while watching Olympic road race was not on my bingo card 😭

History is what is in your heart and your mind. Your history ends with you. Only shared history lives on. Get your friends and family out of the house and create history together!

Watching women's road race, one of the bike events

Go Kristen Faulkner!

Only seven years cycling, wasn't even going to be a part of the team, took that gold medal by almost a WHOLE minute

It's the fact that she's only been cycling for seven years

You don't need to start at 5 years old to be an Olympic athlete

I was just thinking I wasn't doing much at my ripe old age of 27

Nah

I'm fine

Would I ever be an Olympic athlete?

Heck no!

But I can start doing anything at any time
