videogame things you think about a lot (Part 1)

Also, what it sounded like in my city’s biggest arcade when I was a kid. The place was a huge three-story building, and the sound of certain games dominated certain areas. For example, there was the Gladiator area, the (three-screen) Darius area, and the area where Space Ace was way too loud.

Also, how in the smaller arcade closer to my house, all the little basketballs in the free-throw game had “Stolen from Tilt” written on them in marker. (The arcade was called “Tilt.”) I don’t really think about this a lot, but mentioning the other arcade reminded me of it.
