did traveling carnivals bring arcades BITD?

[bradd]

yup, tent arcades were common at carnivals and county fairs here until the mid 90s.

Our county fair had a trailer filled with games at least one time. That was the only time I played a Demo Derby and I wanted one ever since. Finally got one last year , thanks to Troy/MtZRcade.

The carnival that came to our area had a semi trailer that the entire one side would flip Down and the Arcade was in side. I looked forward it the carnival coming each year because it was the only arcade i had ever seen with a Stunt Cycle, I would play the hell out of it. They also had a Battlezone so I would play that a lot as the three local arcades in our town didn't have one.

Good memories,
