I lived on Army bases in Germany and Belgium from May 1980 until July 1983 so US-styled arcades were rare for me and I got most of my exposure to games at bowling alleys and youth centers. While in Belgium, the youth center next to school always seemed to be rolling in the latest titles (according to my friends back in the states) as soon as they hit the streets. I saw and played a lot of rarer titles during that time. I was looking up some games yesterday (Three Stooges, Crossbow and Cheyenne) and saw that they were released in late 1983 and early 1984. Now this was a while ago so my memory may be failing me, but I'm 99% sure I played all of these BEFORE leaving Europe. Is it possible that some games were beta tested there before the US or just released there early?
