Episode 05: Dream Machine! An Ode to the Video Game Arcade
Cabinet video games were a focal point of our childhood long before home gaming machines became the focal point of our living room. We had a pocketful of quarters and we were armed and ready to claim our spot to get 'next game.' Join us on another stroll down memory lane as we discuss the classics, the atmosphere, and the ever present fear of getting your bike stolen. The games were closer to real life. No saving and if you die, you're reincarnated back to the beginning. They may have complex stories and better graphics, but today's kids will never know the power we had when a public business was ruled by 12 year olds everywhere.
