Dear Mr. Do!,

Please accept my most sincere apology for overlooking you in every arcade, restaurant, and rec room since I first saw you in 1982. I have thought long and hard about what happened and I realize how very disappointed you must have been when I dropped my quarter in everyone else's slot but yours.

I am really sorry for creating the situation which made you feel inadequate and not worthy of my attention. You see at the time I was a 12 year old boy in search of his manhood and could not risk being seen spending time with man dressed in a clown suit that hung out in a psychedelic box.

Recently a fellow klover encoraged me to give you a try and I can't believe what I've been missing. The game is brightly colored, quick, fun, and challenging. I have become a big fan of yours Mr. Do! and I welcome you into my top 25 list of best arcade games. I can't believe that I walked by and turned up my nose at your game so many times.

I understand that it might be difficult for you to accept my apology but hope that this "formal apology" will help. It is impossible to return to 1982 and throw a few quarters your way, but I feel as though I have to Do! something, so from know on, whenever I see an old man dressed up like a clown I'll flip him a quarter and whisper: "watch out for falling apples".

Viva la Mr. Do!
