Remembering The Past

[veedubtuner]

That was the first and only video game I ever had. lol

I (thankfully) never got into playing video games and now see how kids are with them now I'm happy I didn't. Pinball was fun and we use to walk the backstreets to the mall to play at the arcade there. It was a good 3 miles away but we never cared. My mom had no idea where we were all day either. As long as the police didn't show up and I was home for dinner was all that mattered. lol

Back in the day Hawaii had this place called Castle Park. My Dad wasn't too fond of it because my brother and I would spend a couple hours alone just in the castle where all the games were . It was literally an all day affair. Between the water park, go karts, mini golf, batting cages, bumper boats and the Castle it was always a blast. Usually it was birthday trips.

This is obviously AI, but pretty darn close to what it was like.

I never really cared for pinball that much, but I used to love a game called Hyperball by Williams (I liked their Defender video game too).

Apparently the Hyperball machine was a bear to keep in working order.

Not surprising since you basically had a rapidfire pinball cannon that you used to shoot targets and returning pinballs.

Just about everyone I knew (including myself) had a stereo similar tho one of these. A friend of mines brother had a reel to reel and I thought he was rich. lol

Now everything is compact and digital.

Mine was similar to this and I even had those big comfortable headphones.

And if we don't need any more reasons to feel old(r) I'll remind you of this.
