I've been chatty cathy lately...

So I was looking here..

And it was slowly hitting me one arcade title at a time... my childhood once again being flung in my face...

Now I can easily explain this one.. it's weird but i get it.

So video games are another component to the "sauce" analogy I have used. Think of an onion, it has layers, and it's those layers that make up the onion. Sauce has more nuance in it, but anyway.

So it's not one video game it's all of them. It's the philharmonic symphony... you need them all to play this one.

It start out slow and erratic, spasming almost until I get my first video game console, at which point it becomes more consistent and then another cacophony of erratic sounds until a new sound appears and my C64... then more noise for some time...

I had many moments that I spent gobs of money on video games... fuck I had a habit back then. Shit.. when I 7? Swipe quarters from my old man and go to the liquor store to get candy or play video games. Any other big cash expenditures on games were at the arcade in Westminster Mall, or Laguna Hills Mall or Balboa Fun Zone or Redondo Beach Pier... Beach & Warner and all are gone... 7-Elevens.... Boomers... ugh.. all are gone.. well not all..

There are no more old arcades around anymore, they are all gone. Just like the drive in theatres of old. Sure there are a few remnants of what once was easily available almost everywhere to remote awareness of what they once were.

Like rolling up the window. Manually..

Actually there may be one.. The Castle... also there's the put put in Norwalk.. or any other that may survive... Pinball is still around..
