Hey guys, while surfing the net like a stoned beach boy, I found this cool little video that someone created. It's a computer animated recreation of the guys local arcade at the mall he went to back in the golden age of games. Thought I'd share, as it is cool.

Nobody fine this interesting? Hmm, I thought it was pretty amazing that this guy recreated his childhood arcade and mall. (Shameless bump) :P

I find it interesting. I recieved it from a friend a couple of years ago. He also sent me another one that plays to "The best of times" by Styx. It's a cool one also.

Hey, I remember that Dr. Pepper gum! That stuff was good. :-P

I thought it was cool, but I think most people here have seen it. (c) 2001. For a while it was all the rage to either have that video play when your MAME cabinet booted up, or use it as a screen saver while you weren't playing games.

When I have my arcade up I always play one of those Arcade Ambience tracks by Andy Hofle. My wife thinks I'm a super nerd. LOL

When I was younger I actually had an arcade i went to that was in a small town in saskatchewan called Spiritwood

I remember that arcade, but it sucks now especially that there's not really any good arcades around me, i really miss it.

There also was a 7 Up gum if I'm not mistaken. Had a juice filled center. Only in the 80's. 8-)

Just down loaded it then watch it :D

It gave me a good trip down memory lane.

When arcades ruled and there was plenty to chose from.

Btw figures the video music would be from, Journey since they ruled the 80's. Even if they were the cheeseist band of that time period :D
