November 15, 201213 yr Author It's amazing how far video games have come. But I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for those old games. When I was going through the list of games, I found that I played more from the 70's and 80's than I did the rest of the years.
November 15, 201213 yr Looking for help, I played a game in tilt at Florence mall in the 80's and put in more quarters than I care to remember. 4 player game advance through stages you could do damage if you had the jet pack or bouncy shoes. If a friend died you stole the jet pack! It was a blast anybody have a name???
