Vin – wasn’t the game in the basement called QuestStar? Or something like that? And the real name was Zaxxon? I think dad got it after a case against companies that made those knock-offs because he had the most kids. I Remember playing that with David Wilms.
It was loud.. we stuffed the back with a rag because you could hear it in the attic.

Vin, is it possible that I could be both?

In the summer of 1993, I spent several hundred dollars on NBA Jams.

Boom-shakalaka, bitch.

I can’t wait until you open those bars, but I’m going to inspect my brews carefully before I consume them.

In South Orange, NJ, the place was Moto-Sport. It was a seedy arcade downtown that closed because of drug deals or something. Wasted mucho time there, and my older brothers did too.

When I was a kid my favorite thing to do was get a $5 roll of quarters and ride my bike to midtown Anchorage, to blow the whole thing on video games at a place called the Space Station. The best comic book store in town as a block from there, too.

Maybe if I had put all that money in the bank instead and let it earn interest for 25 years, I would now have enough money for a PS3…

Justin, you should be a gay talk show host in Second Life. Or a Hell’s Angel bike gang leader.
PS: Dragon’s Lair freaked me out too.

You’re so lucky to live near a place like Ground Kontrol.

Tron rules.

Laura and I would play Ms. Pacman, at the Roundtable Pizza in Truckee, for hours. Each person’s turn would take 15-20 minutes.

When I was younger, Dragon’s Liar scared me.

Bye bye,
