I had one called Aces of the Pacific. Anyone play that? It was cutting edge graphics with MIDI music and all.

Anyone else ever play the tank game Battlezone, where it was nothing but green lines on the screen and you could move around and change your turret position to fire? Thought it was so much fun playing a "3d"ish game lol.

In pre-internet time.....even though it's not shopping, I have to say nothing has ever beat the feeling of walking into a blockbuster (or hastings) and seeing a plastic case behind the box of a console game you had been waiting forever to play.

Back when they finished coding and debugging games before they're released.

Also, it gets better.

There were the days you'd find a new cabinet at the arcade.

I may have found my most expensive hobby recently.
