Title: My Arcade photos circa '84
Post by: Marcade on May 30, 2011, 07:35:24 pm

Digging around my parents house I found a few pictures of me in the arcades aged about 2 I think, before '85 anyway as my sister wasn't born yet  ;D
The crown of the 4 photos I found has me being lifted up to see get my hands on a genuine arcade joystick, so very little changes  :laugh2:

I can't identify the driving cab though? any help on that?

Here's the set:

That looks cool i don't have any photos of me at an arcade at any age sadly

And the taxi cab isn't a game it's a ride like the tugboat

Thanks for that! could not find that cab for the life of me! didn't think of looking so far back, man I'd give anything to have a go in that arcade.
