  The mid 80&apos;s were amazing for arcade games and arcades in general. &nbsp;Our local mall didn&apos;t just have one but TWO full sized arcades in it. &nbsp;One upstairs and one downstairs!

  I loved those days as a kid where every supermarket has an arcade game. My parents would do their groceries while I plunked quarters and enjoyed these arcade classics

  Man, I used to love the fact that every 7-Eleven and laundromat in the 80s had arcades!?!?! Me and friends would walk around town looking for new... Good Times!?!

  I remember haunting the arcades in the very early 80s. Maybe 81-82.<br>There will never be a time like it. :)

  I didn&apos;t realize Spy hunter was that old... &nbsp;what an amazing, and advanced game for the time.... &nbsp;loved it at our local bowling alley... &nbsp;great times.

  What a time to be alive. I was too young (ie. short) to play these games myself, but I do remember hanging out at the local mall arcade watching others and the attract modes.

  I was working in Silicon &nbsp;Valley (San Jose and Milpitas areas) from 1983 to 1990. &nbsp;My favorite thing to do on my lunch breaks (at least in the early years) was run down to Chucky Cheese and play Missile Command. &nbsp;I would play it for an hour straight (sometimes two). &nbsp;I lost count of how many times my boss would scold me for walking back in to Engineering an hour or two late, and told me I was addicted and to seek help. &nbsp;LOL! &nbsp;Now THOSE were the days!

  Remember Starcade on TBS each Saturday AM? Great year that 1983.

  Wow!! &nbsp;Plated most of these as a young man. &nbsp;Arcades were a big part of life for many of us and why we shoveled snow, cut lawns, and did so many other chores!!

  I was blessed to have grown up during the 70&apos;s and 80&apos;s. I fondly recall numerous hours spent in various arcades and pretty much anyplace that had a video game around my hometown of Los Angeles, CA. From the local liquor stores in my neighborhood to the SEGA center in Fox Hills Mall &nbsp;to the &nbsp;Santa Monica Pier.
