Title: Anyone have cool pictures of kids playing in arcades in the 80's?
Post by: tophatne1 on August 13, 2007, 03:18:03 pm: 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!

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.

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!!
