    Default New Golden Age Arcade History Blog

    I hope this is not inappropriate to post here, but I just started a new blog on arcade game history from the bronze and golden ages.
    The blog is at:
    http://allincolorforaquarter.blogspot.com/

    Only three posts right now (more coming soon):
    One is on some info I found on the early years of Cinematronics
    One is on The Bishop of Battle
    One is on an arcade game that might have used a microprocessor before Gun Fight (plus a lot of info on Gun Fight, Bally's first try at putting a microprocessor in a coin-op (before Gun Fight), and forgotten pioneer Jerry Lawson.

    I am doing so in part to gauge interest in a book that I started writing about 15 years ago (subtitled, mildly tounge-in-cheek, "The definitive history of arcade video games, 1971-1984"), dropped, and an now contemplating finishing.
    I want to see if there enough interest for me to do so and figured if people here weren't interested, no one would be.

    Default Awesome!

    Keep on going! More!

    However, for the part about 1982's Victory having the best speech.... I'd have to say that 1981's Space Fury and 1982's Star Trek had the best speech for a video game for at least another four years.
