    The one on the right is upside down. It shouldn't bother me, but it does.

    Damn OCD.

    I remember this one and "Rally X" to the beat of Chicago and Jim Croce at the local pub.

    My mom would take us there for dinner because we could walk through the woods to get there.



    The Shadyside Inn, if it's still there.



    The burgers were always great.

    Good times.

    Great article. Even people of my age (23) who never got the chance to experience the arcade boom have plenty of adolescent years with the NES or SNES. Going from crude to eeriely real seems like the natural progression.

    It makes me wonder if kids are getting screwed by not having to work their way up from NES Mario to Halo 3. Then again maybe they are just going to be agile killing machines because all they know is doulbe-joysticked-shoot-em-in-the-head...>doulbe-joysticked-shoot-em-in-the-head......     action.

    Still, when I think back to beating Kirby for the first time it just doesn't compare to beating any of the games that come out now.

    And so, through a haze of Marlboro Light smoke, "Physical Graffiti", and Schlitz beer was the strategy of shooting through one's shield conceived.
