Remember the 20c arcade games. There used to be an arcade in our neighbourhood. A little windowless room around the back of the dairy. It was filled with about 15 machines that played their little theme tunes over and over begging you to spend your hard earned coins. I could make 20c on a game called Gyrus last for half an hour at least.
I found this little ditty the other day and it bought the memories flooding back. See how many games you recognise. Here are the ones I can name for starters...
Donkey Kong (the gorilla is kong), Pacman (easy one), Cube-it, Bomberman, 1942, The Glob, Alex Kidd, Hyper Olympics (another old fav), Space Invaders (the Daddy of them all), Defender, Galiga, Break-out, Street Fighter, Time Pilot, Frogger, plus a few more that I recognise but can't put a name to.
Even now just hearing one of those little electronic jingles is like the smell of playdough to me.... takes me straight back to my childhood.
