Share some of your best arcade memories 
My fondest memories involve walking into a dark, toasty, lone-standing arcade out of a snowy, frozen January night, after working in a restaurant kitchen in wheaton, md. All the machines beautifully lit up like Xmas trees. I still remember the feel of that brand-spanking new missile command trackball and tall, rigid fire buttons. You could feel how high the perfectly smooth ball sat out of the ctrl panel- sometimes your finger would get snagged between the two, lol. I remember the graphics being so warm and glowingly beautiful. The wonderful sounds it made my adrenaline surge and endorphins kick in. The machine even smelled fabulous! Ahh, the memories!!
