    Oh yes, 2Kaulitz. Those were the days.. the late 70s/early 80s in the golden age of the arcades.

    In Jr. High it was less common to go after school, since it was a long, long way home from there... but the weekends were spent on my Mom's 10 speed scouting out kwik marts (Sheetz's in central PA) for games like Spy Hunter, Gyruss, Tempest, Sinistar, etc.

    High School it was easier. Soph and Jr. years I would go to the Station Mall (two blocks from the H.S.) after school many times and kick the crap out of Elevator Action, Spy Hunter, sit down Star Wars, and others. Pinball was always kind of another option... but I was more in awe of it than a participant in it. It always seemed so difficult.

    Senior yr. of H.S. it was harder because of football practice after school.

    It wasn't until college years (during the Kurt Cobain early 90s) that I got into pinball,, which just so happened to be the golden DMD age. Spent many a quarter in D.E. Simpsons, T2, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Addams Familly, Fun House, EATPM, and others.

    Fun times.
