Over on CGCC, Bish posted some pics he scanned from a children's book about the making of video games, featuring the assembly of Joust cocktail cabs at the Williams plant in Chicago.

I'd kill to get get a few of those original Williams games hot off the press.

The images and process look olden days'ish even though that's only the early 80's. But 30 years can make a world of difference.

Crap, we are getting old RetroACTIVE.  :'(
