Been thoroughly enjoying @HG101's “Arcade Cult Classics”❗

The coverage is fantastic. Blown away by how many of these I haven’t got around to playing.

The backlog grows 🎮

Back in... 1980s ... A sort of vertical pacman game with exotic backgrounds drew me towards its cabinet on occasional visits to the arcades. Its gameplay was so compelling it would end up being one of the few ZX Spectrum conversions I'd keep playing when other ZX games were too hard, no fun or plain rubbish. Now the 80s magic is back thanks to Tea Monster Games with a demo now & full release soon of 'Jack Dragon and The Stone Of Peace'.🤩

Be the change you want to see when you have an hour to kill at an arcade.

I guess we have reached a tragic point in the Americas when wasting time is not the first thought when reading "time to kill."

What’s your earliest video game memory?

I remember my grand parents taking me to the #arcades and playing Phoenix without a token 🤣 I must have been 4 or 5…

Time for my Friday cabinet of curiosities, where I share fun and interesting links that caught my attention this week.

Today: retro arcades, nostalgia from the future, oral histories of old software, and more ✨
