Hi All,
Mark saying hi to you all and I'm 55yrs young. As a teenager, my father worked for an amusement supplier. they supplied, fruit machines, pool tables, pinball machines, bar football and most of all 'space machines'. As he worked two shifts 10am - 2pm and 6pm - 10.30pm I did my utmost to go with him on the 6-10PM shift. Just imagine having a warehouse full of Breakout, superbreakout, Astoride, Defender, Scramble, super cobra, Space invaders, battle zone and the lsit goes on ... all to myself with open coin doors. I can honestly tell you that these was such happy times for me and apart from having my son i can sit down and cry with all the pleasure i had playing these machines.
I have now jumped in and about to buy myself a 1978 Space invaders pt2 colour to restore and my xmas gift to myself.
Tony from Arcade blogger has helped me with a few links (including this one). so 'nice1' Tony ;-)
