I could never get the hang of Asteroids or later centipede.

But then I could never get to the point that I could bring myself to keep dropping quarters in a machine.

I always would stop myself and say how can you waste your money this way.

But if I had had some investment capital back then I think I might have bought some of those machines myself because those game parlors were full of kids dumping quarters every day.

Yes, or own a Nickel City™ Arcade. It’s amazing how much money such an arcade can drain out of people on the gimmick of the coin charges being cheaper.

I’ve never had Asteroids but I’ve heard it’s painful...
