If so please post them. I'm trying to put something together for a gameroom and there's not to much online.

I'm also looking for any photos of the Barrel of Fun and Goldmine arcade store fronts. Especially the Round entrance for Barrel of Fun!

thanks!

I don't think there ARE any cool pictures of kids playing in the arcade.
We all looked like a bunch of dorks.

Just watch any given episode of Starcade.

Haha. Very true. ;D

I've seen the Time-Out Tunnel photos before. They're good. We didn't have a Time-Out anywhere near where we lived in NY. They look like they were huge arcades.

I'm still irritated I've lost my Kodak 110 photo of me in light grey super dorky cords with matching grey mother karen jacket playing Elevator Action in a shopping mall arcade. ARGH. :badmood:

Hey loadman, I'm jealous... coz I would paid an lot of €€€ to have a old picture where I'm playing video games in 80's  :'(

It would be to cool for you to take the same picture, playing mappy of course, these days...many years later  8)

In the same manner, i've done a similar trip into the past ... click on picture  8)

Great Idea. Anyone know where I can find a cab like that in Sydney???
FYI that pic was taken in San Diago on a holiday. Mappy was not that big in Oz but I loved it!!
