No, but I’d suddenly love a bacon cheeseburger.

Have I told you about the ‘six degrees of Kevin Bacon’ burger at a local place? 6 different bacons on it.
It’s almost as good as ‘Tragically Maple’

 

[Plugske]

6 different bacons? I need to try that one!

 

[ScottR]

Yet more proof that you just can't fix stupid.

Nope...but you can have a monkey shoot it with an AK-47.

No schlitz!

I'd recommend "Tremors" or "He Said, She Said".

Dave, I think I've got it!

Your last name is hews right?

Uh...dude...you forgot your blood type.

Oh shoot, your right.

It's red.

I'd love to get one of those OneUp games - has four or five games and the original-type control panels.

Don't waste your money on that trash. I bought the Mortal Kombat one. Graphics look worse than a Sega genesis. I still have the Mortal Kombats for the Genesis so that's how I know...not from some 25 year old foggy memory. The arcade 1 up plays (after joystick upgrades) and sounds arcade acurate but the graphics suck. I'm in the process of tearing out the monitor and circut board and putting a computer with M.A.M.E into so it'll look like it's supposed to. Shouldn't have listened to wifey on this one and just returned it. The cabinet looks cool though and it'll be great once I get the 'puter in there with M.A.M.E and a couple hundo games.

If you don't have carpentry skills or space I suppose you could go the route I am. I could've easily built my own cab though and saved a couple hundred. But the cab artwork being so close to original is kinda cool though.

A MAME setup seems to be the best with a raspberry pi close behind...according to my research. If you're not too concerned about all the details then a Pandora's box is ok. I got one for 25 bucks at a garage sale. 800 or so games but you can't adjust every parameter like the real arcade games.

It will have been wild back then!

Well... I remember checking out castles with guards wearing skirts, hills, and going to school when it was still dark.

My mother looked like Yoko Ono being Asian with long hair and all. Good thing she doesn't sing like Yoko...

Lots added to this thread!

Yes, had an Amiga. I think it was called a 128 or similar, the first one.

Clearly remember people lining up to play “Pong.” Crazy. I was good at Pole Position, Defender, and Tempest. And Karateka on the Amiga. Damn Princess killed me a few times before I figured it out.

Cool that many in this group recall when “computer” meant something like the Cray X-MP, not something you carried in a shirt pocket.

what about ‘the big picture’ and ‘she’s having a baby’? too much cheese? too much bacon?

4. What one thing would you like to share about yourself to others?

• I have 3 degrees, bachelor's in civil engineering, masters in engineering, masters in education. I was almost done with a degree in Com Sci. I'm probably a nerd.

• I have a black belt in Taekwondo. Trained in Muay Thai. I tried Jiujitsu but sucked at it.
• I'm poor. I acquired and sold cheap guitars throughout the years until I was able to afford my PRS S2. It took me about 7-8 years.
• I have a condition with a 40% mortality rate if the worst happens. Each day is a blessing for me.

Did your Mum work in the Timex?

 

[littlebadboy]

Did your Mum work in the Timex?

No. Why?

 

[Alnus Rubra]

No. Why?

My wife’s grandmother (now sadly passed) worked there and told a story of an Asian lady who worked there. It would have been a strange coincidence!

I'll ask her.
