--- Quote from: DaOld Man on July 03, 2018, 07:52:57 am ---Reminds me of the arcade in the mall at Owensboro, Ky. (Around 1988 I think) Used to take my 5 yr old son there on the weekends. Fed a bunch of quarters to a Simpsons 4 player game. We just had to beat it, and we finally did, but I have no idea how much money I spent on it. Probably really dont want to know. --- End quote --- Like you could put a price on that, You should be more like "OMG, we should have played that more often", and then go get him a giant pretzel as big as his head, and then go back to the arcade until your feet hurt. 8)....I would think the reality however half of the arcade attraction was freedom FROM your parents, and socializing with friends and strangers, Even at that age, and not be "That kid" everyone else was talking about. (or so you thought at the time) |

When he was young it was cool to hang out with Dad, we both looked forward to the weekend. Now, when he got around 11-13 years old, hanging out with Dad was not so cool anymore. It was very hard for me to accept that, but I guess we all have to sooner or later. Now he has a son (7 months old right now), so I'm sure he will go through the same experiences. I tell him to enjoy it while the boy is young, cause they will grow up someday, and that someday will be here before you can turn around. |

Note the watermark, the original host channel. --- End quote --- I never saw the original video, so I had nothing to compare to. Thanks. |

Watch the original Dawn of the Dead by George Romero.... That is the best mall movie. Plus they have a bit of time in the arcade. |
