How many classes did you skip in school just to go and play your favorite machine at the arcade?? I skipped a bunch!! Great Memories!!
 
Right across the street from our Jr. high and less than a block away from our Senior high was an Arcade it was there from the late 70's to early 90's back in the 80's when i was in high school you could buy single smokes for 10cents LOL. We played Gauntlet, Black Hole Pinball, Eightball Deluxe pin, Defender, Asteroids, Robotron, Crazy Climber, Ms pac, and Burgertime, Near the end the Arcade was starting to die. They converted the Defender to a Double Dragon and a Sinistar to Bubble Bobble, , i actually played that one with my wife a lot and now own it! Oh and i remember my friends playing Rolling Thunder and thinking this is a stupid game, that and Operation Wolf, hate those two games, but this was after when the classics were starting to already disapear.

The Arcade has been converted to a house now, weird as my kids go to this school now and when i drop them off in the morning i still chuckle to myself as i think of the times we spent playing Foosball, Pinball, and Vids, good times...

My Sophmore year I skipped the 3 out of the 1st 5 days of school. Not 1 or 2 classes, but the whole day. :eek: I also had that semester like 20 tardies. What fun times. Still graduated and was part of the Honor Society. Now one gameroom is an empty lot and the other one became a parking lot for Auto Zone.
 
I don't know if it counts, but I skipped a lot of classes at Georgia Tech to play Dragon's Lair and Flash Gordon.

I didn't skip alot of school back in grades 4,5, and 6 but I was late alot of times getting back from dinner since the arcade was like less then a block away from the school. This was probably in the early to mid 80's. I learned about the planets from playing Gyruss.
