Chasing Ghosts

Folks, stop me now...I'm getting obsessed. We have yet another movie about the glory days of 80's video game competition, arcades, and some of the biggest nerds of our time. Seeing these places and reading about the "good ol days" is really taking me back in time. I've been playing a LOT of MAME lately, and I'm REALLY wanting an arcade cabinet in my house. It doesn't make it any easier either when my boys are helping fuel that fire. There's a guy down the street from me that has an old 'Joust' machine sitting outside of his garage, and I'm half tempted to go over and ask him if he's looking to get rid of it. Craigslist has a Donkey Kong Junior machine here in Boise for like 200 bucks, and the guy claims that it's fully playable. I'm really scared what may happen if I'm to buy a house with a large basement. The gameroom possibilities are endless! Anyway, another 80's video game flick is coming soon...oh the life of us geeks that could actually get chicks because we rocked an Asteroids machine! I remember the first time Kim watched me play Donkey Kong...she was putty in my hands after that. ;)

Cheers!
