First arcade you ever played
RyoriNoTetsujin:
The first coin-op I have a distinct memory of playing was Time Pilot. It was at the local Safeway. I was around 4 years old, and had to stand on a stool to play it. The weekend grocery shopping run always ended with ONE quarter from my Mom, and one game of Time Pilot... which lasted all of maybe one minute.
It wasn't until my first game of Joust, some time later, that I *understood* that I was addicted...
It's stories like this that influenced me to build my cab. Every time I have someone of my generation over to play, something like this thread occurs. "Oh man! I played this in a Chuck E. Cheese..." "I remember the roller-rink where we played this all the time!" "This is my... my LAUNDROMAT!" (That last one is an actual quote!)
... Good stuff. ;D

Yeah, it was...the first quarter didn't do it...I died too quickly. But with the second one I lasted much longer, and that's when I was hooked.
