'Mom and Pop' videos stores about the size of a postage stamp.

If you're an Andy Milligan fan there's no hope for you.

I remeber gong to an arcade, Fun n Games in Natick which is still there in the 80's.  The kids there were under age, had long hair and were smoking. It was packed. Games I played were like Jungle Hunt, Ten Yard Fight. Other game I liked and played probably there and elsewhere were Kangeroo, Crystal Castles Russ'n (?) Attack and of course Marble Madness!

I used to go to the R-Cade in Poway California back in about '82.  I was one of the long haired underage kids smoking, and slipping out back with a group of buddies to smoke something a little stronger  :teddyr:  Ahhhh...good times.  Arcades were THE place to hang out back then.

"Blue Monday" was a favorite.  And I like a few of FLOCK OF SEAGULLS.  
Here's some of the 12 inch singles I had back in the day:

We live in quite an interesting age. You can tell someone's sexual orientation and level of education from just their interests.
