FS: Original Centipede pin/button for arcade employees
« on: September 12, 2004, 11:23:42 pm »
I found this while searching for an old toy today. This was given to me by an employee @ an arcade when I was a kid. I remember asking the guy if he had any extras and he just took it off and gave it to me. Collecting/wearing buttons on my bluejean jacket was a cool thing back in the day (80's).

Here tis:



I may eBay it if nobody here wants it.  It is in new condition!

Make me an offer via PM or e-mail: (remove_this_criteriondvd@hotmail.com_remove_this)

If I'm not mistaken, that was a button to promote the 2600/5200 cart!

Still fearsomely cool. =)

You know what, I believe you're correct, now that I think back.  I think I got this button from an aunt who worked at a department store.  The button I have from the arcade employee was for Alladins Castle .  Hmmm, I wonder where that is?? :)

Thanks for clearing up my memory!  Ha!

I remember a K-Mart employee game me 2 Super Metroid buttons off of her vest one time when I mentioned how cool they were. I was so happy I hugged her.

She seemed disturbed. =(

I guess she didn't get hugged in the midde of the store by 18 year old strangers every day! =)
