| 19532 | Arcades you went to | Nice topic. I have been trying without success to find info about my childhood arcade. It was called Ronnie's. It was on top of a hill. It was near the intersection of a highway and a smaller road and I think there was a car dealership on the actual corner. The building was shaped like a little red schoolhouse. There was a graveyard across the street. The arcade room was square, with machines both lining the walls and in the middle. I think they served food? That's all I can remember about the place. It was a popular destination for birthday parties. I used to say I wanted to be buried in that graveyard when I die.<br><br>There was another arcade in the mall. It was pretty small. It was a one-hall mall. The arcade just had two rows of machines, one along either side of the room. It was dark and it looked dangerous and I think you could smoke in there. This place was tantalizing as heck. You know in 80s movies how the bad guys look like punks, and they have technology and also trash barrel fires, and they're really cool? It felt like that. My dad took me in there just once or twice on Saturday morning for just one or two quarters. But mostly it was passing by it and wishing I could go in as my mom would drag me to get clothes I hated at Bradlee's. By the time I was old enough to get over there myself, it was still a little scary, yet also kind of pathetic in that I never saw anybody in there. It seemed very adult. Maybe teenagers went there in the evening. I was just at the mall for the comic book store.<br><br> | shakin steak | Apr 03, 2015 |  |

He didn't remember seeing me at the rink, but he knew I remembered him when I started talking about how I wished I could do some of the tricks he did. We got into a big discussion about all our skating rink exploits. It was a good conversation that brought back some memories. :)<br> | Vaporman87 | Apr 03, 2015 | |
| 19530 | Arcades you went to | The arcade I visited most was in Vienna, WV in the mall there. I don't remember what it started out as, but later on it was a TILT. That was where I experienced the most arcade action. Now, technically not an arcade, but the <a href="http://retro-daze.org/site/thread/id/297">Skate-A-Way</a> (original post) was also a place where I played arcade games a great deal, mainly because I was there every weekend. But it was limited to about 8 to 10 games, including Galaga, Kung Fu Master, Ms. Pac-Man, and Gradius.<br> | Vaporman87 | Apr 03, 2015 | |
| 19529 | Arcades you went to | Putt-Putt.<br><br>Back when it had mostly arcade games. I haven't been in awhile, but last time I did, the games I grew up with were gone. <img src="http://retro-daze.org/images/smilies/MavSad.gif"> | Mr Magic | Apr 03, 2015 | |

| 19527 | Guess That Year - Round 7 | Wow, a clue I know right off the bat. Those are a little rare. Well it's still open to interpretation.<br><br><span style="font-size: large; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">It's after your set began glowing with green,</span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">hands that had character from Jim and his team .</span></div><br><br>Obviously something about the Muppets. Sam and Friends was 1955 and Sesame Street started in 1969 (both out of bounds).<br><br>The Muppet Show started airing in 1976. But there were pilots in 1974 and 1975. <br> | shakin steak | Apr 03, 2015 | |

| 19523 | Retro-Daze let's get healthy! | While I have still managed to stay away from any soda, my walking routine has been severely hampered since we went on vacation and started getting the new bedroom worked on.<br><br>I seriously need to get back on that kick. I think the nice weather will be helpful for doing physical stuff too.<br> | Vaporman87 | Apr 03, 2015 | |
