This is me attempting to play Discs of Tron in a not-so- sit-down cabinet. I had never played it before but had heard good things about it.

I am really not a mass murderer, no matter what my facial expression might be. The game was laughing at me.

They had a Pole Position cabinet with clear sides and back so the uninformed could have a peek at the innards

they even had a Zoo Keeper!

Front panel looked in good shape but the coin door was messed.

Side art was messed up a lot, though.

This might require a return trip when it's finished

I never saw any great prizes that I really wanted, how sad..

I love the last picture. THe "make 2 to $10 a week"

The only "work at home" scheme I've ever seen that was honest and upfront about your potential!

I was looking for the micro army guys in a cool cardboard footlocker advertisement. Or the sea monkeys with the milf.

Well, I'm sure I'll regret this, but I'll come correct. I had a crush on the female sea monkey when I was a little kid.

Looks like Strong bought the games at Videotopia:

This is good news FOR ME. I want to come home for a weekend around Christmas and if the exhibit is still there, it's definitely something I want to go to.
