Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ark Malmeida" data-source="post: 2210" data-attributes="member: 285">I poked around different arcades when I was a kid both on vacations in the summer down at Cape Cod and at the local bowling alley every Sunday when my dad worked.  Like a few others I just poked around at the pinball machines occasionally and instead concentrated on the video games - didn't have a lot of money to burn so I would try to find games I could play the longest, or would just watch others play (Dragon's Lair comes to mind).It wasn't until I worked at a movie theater as a teen that I really started getting into pinball.  We always had one machine at a time that would get swapped out every once in a while.  I think the order was Pinbot, Terminator 2, Cyclone (Ride the Ferris Wheel!), Star Wars (Data East), and then Indiana Jones.  I spent the most time by far on that Star Wars machine.  I loved how it counted the number of times you went around the main ramp and how certain things would be triggered as the count went up.  I also remember being absolutely terrible at the Indiana Jones table even though I really liked it.  After playing those machines I would always try to seek out machines at other places, like the local bowling alley.  Others I remember playing are Taxi, Funhouse, Junkyard and Fish Tales.Don't have any arcades that close to where I live now (western MA) although I've checked out Funspot arcade in NH and would love to find the time to get to Pinball Wizard.</blockquote>
