Vintage Space Invaders pic...

[Knievel]

To prove my arcade-worthiness I present to you a pic from my Mom's photo album, circa 1979.
I'm the skinny blonde kid with 'next game'...



Of course this thing would've been factory fresh at the time, and they had the volume cranked right up.
I remember we had a poolside room and it taunted me all night long...for a week. They never shut the games off in the pool area and it was parked just outside our door...

DUH-DUH-DUH-DUHH

Pretty cool photo.  Too bad you spent your lunch money on space invaders...looks like you could have used a bit of nachos in you.

Ya Zakk, this is pretty much how it went..

Hey cool! That could easily be the Space Invaders cocktail that's in my game room right now!



Love that funky Space Invaders bass.

Cool pic, that would have been a contender in the RetroBlast "Starcader" contest

So, Stingray, when you having all the OK BYOACers over for some gaming?   

[Stingray]

Stingray that is one minty unit...I'd love to play it again.
Hey is there by chance a wad of grape Bubblicious underneath the edge of that thing? It was my gum of choice in the late 70's-early 80's. 

Nope, no gum, it is as minty as it looks. Just a few scuffs here and there. I was lucky to find it.

I'll have to clear that with Mrs. Stingray. I assume you must be in OK too, where do you live?
