    I grew up on a farm outside a small town and didn’t have a good arcade anywhere near me. Then in the early 90’s I was bussed 20km to the next town over for high school. Across the street was the local diner/coffee shop called Smoky’s, and next to it was a small arcade. The room couldn’t have been more then 30 feet long with a row of games on each side. The back left side always had 2 or3 pinball machines rotating through the spots. That’s when I learned on Fish Tales and Whitewater that pinball had rules, and it was more then just keeping the ball alive. There couldn’t have been more then 15 or 20 games in there but I can’t remember them all for the life of me. Arkanoid 2, rolling thunder, SF2, MK, nba jam, bubble bobble….. I’d love to see a picture of the inside of that tiny arcade, I spent countless hours watching those attract screens.
