Default Wanna step back in the time machine... to say... the 80's?

We have this arcade in downtown Springfield that takes me right back to my youth, It's called 1984 and it is a real blast from the past. All the games you remember playing as a kid in the 80's are there and so are those cool arcade sounds! The guys and gals that own the joint are good folks and its a real hit with the younger generation to boot.
I enjoy going there from time to time, and tonight I was looking for the opportunity to play with the Slow Sync. :-)

Wow, they do bring back memories... bring back Pinball! Dont see arcade shops around anymore. The only one close to us is in the picture theatre. Guess it helps to stop kid-type gangs as we had during those times. Classed as Bullies back then, classed as gangs now. Shame.

Memories aside, they are nice shots, the first kinda looks like the young lass is picking her nose?? (perhaps just itching it?? LOL) and I like the lighting on the second one. Its also so crisp and clear. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Shellie.
Yea it does look like a pick doesn't it? I saw that but I liked the pic so I decided to post it anyways. haha
They do have pinball machines there too! About 7 or 8. its a pretty big 80's arcade. Cost $5 to get in and you can play all you want (except for the pinball and its just 25 cents to keep the maintenace up on them)

It's a very unique place. I love it.
