You look a little older than that in your picture!  :laugh2:

Sorry...I couldn't resist.

I'm just reading an article in the Dutch Playboy, written by the chief editor who was at Hugh Hefner's mansion. Of course most is about the almost naked ladies, but he also mentions that "it was fantastic playing Donkey Kong on a vintage arcade machine in Hugh's Game Room"....

I bet Hefner is around the 70 ?
I wonder what other machines are in that room. Strip Poker :P

You're not alone ... I truly sucked at all of my favourite games (Galaga, Joust, Asteroids) ... fortunately, it is much less painful to pay/play now that I can open the coindoor and retrieve those quarters.

Oh ... and I am 38 ...

Cheers.

LOL! Oh...I suck at most games I like...but there were a few that I was able to master. And you are correct...there is nothing better than playing them...even when you suck!
