Mine was called Space Port. There was Space Port II as well when the mall added a second one. Of course, that was only one place I went. Us kids would bike to all sorts of smaller arcades in hotels or pizza shops. 

I remember the exact placement of the Xevious cabinet in my arcade. I would try a bunch of different games first and then go to Xevious and stay there. 

I stumbled upon that album at my used record shop a few years ago and grabbed it. It's one of two vinyl albums I still keep around. I just don't have the space for all those boxes I used to have. 

These kind of games I revisit from time to time to get like 20 minutes of fun, if that. 

How Midway fits into all this is interesting. Yea, Ms. Pac-Man is the real deal. A great game that improves on everything in the original. I saw Ms Pac-Man in the arcades just as frequently as Pac-Man. 

I've played them all at one time or another. I like the scrolling screen in Jr. Pac-Man. I'm not a huge fan of Super Pac-Man. Baby Pac-Man is a pretty unique cabinet. I think pinball machines were beginning to add gameplay on screens to compete with video games. This was the other way around. Weird, but cool. 

I've been debating with myself whether to play Championship Edition but I think I'm going to stick with just what was out in '80 for now. 

When I finally get into some full time work again, I'm going to seriously look at the Switch. 

Sheesh. No need to apologize there. Take the week off if you need to. Have a drink on me. 

You can drop a lot of calories quickly by cutting out meat. I've got to watch the protein now, I think. I'm doing one meat meal a day and the rest vegetarian. I'll see how that goes.

And darn fast too. Don't they every stop to take a break?

Using new game plus to build some better relationships. I need that in real life.

Right, Pac-Man eats everything, even the ghosts when he can. Like swallowing your guilt or something.
