    Pong.

    I fucking know, ok ?

    Technically a TV console knock off pong. But it was awesome all the same.

    First coin op was … space invaders - table top edition.

    It’s hilarious / amazing how back then it was all a brand new frontier , but you just put your money in anyway, and figured it out with a sense of awe and adventure and zero doubt.

    fast forward nearly 50 years, and I’m yelling “this world has gone to shit” in the supermarket if they move my beer brand to a different shelf.

    Aging is pure comedy.

      It’s wild to have emulators so you can play them all with infinite quarters. I built a picade arcade machine just for asteroids. I love your comment.
