Running a JOKER POKER Pinball machine, Pro Foosball table, dig Dug machine and the electronic darts in the basement as a kid.

The Intellivsion still won out!

The pinball and dig dug, I think we got for free from my uncle who didnt want it, the foosball and darts were a family interest.

Foosball table signed by Leif Garret! I am sure you all saw the movie Long Shot Kids!

Joker Poker was a Gottlieb game, probably the first table I ever played really seriously. Either that or Jacks Open.

I am old too fellas, remember them well and I agree Pittmike, that was bullshit when they upped it a quarter.



Of course, I should have mentioned the 5 balls to 3 move as well. :evil: But you guys already knew that.

Before Mayor Daley blew it and lost the Consumer Electronics show, it was in chicago. It was an amazing event, even back then, cant even imagine how big it would be now if we still had it here.

Just the protestors for the porn use would have used a hotel!

I don't doubt the Union deals had a part in chasing CES out of Chicago. But I used to dispaly at both of them, here and in Vegas, and naturally, everyone always preferred the January show in Vegas.

I do remember arguing with a guy who didn't want to let me carry a fucking potted plant into the booth myself.

This is crazy talk. Don Mattingly is a truer than true Yankee, despite his misfortune to be on some poor clubs. What was he supposed to do - win the World Series all by himself? Nobody could possibly do that.

Reggie Jackson is the most fake-Yankee of all time. I hated him from the very minute he arrived, and I am still hating him decades later.

Reggie was the straw that stirred the drink and won Yankee championships. He put them back on the map after the dark ages post-Mantle.

Are you really standing up for the loser Don Mattingly? A man that could not muster a championship in pinstripes. It's almost shameful.

That son of a bitch Reggie Jackson joined a club that had already won the American League the year prior. They were on the threshold of greatness and were going to win those titles with or without Mr. A-Oriole.

The only thing he stirred was my hatred for him. He came in like Mr. Bigshot, thinking he was going to take over the club, when everybody knew that it was Thurman Munson's club.

That bastard is an Oakland A-Baltimore Oriole-California Angel. Mr. Steinbrenner should have banned him from the Stadium for life when he finally left.

Boggs won a world series, just for the wrong team.

Oh, I almost forgot. That candy bar was as lame as he was. I would not have eaten that candy bar if it was given to me - which it was on a few occasions at Halloween.

I would rather eat a huge plate of asparagus, which makes me vomit, than eat a single candy bar from that no-good bastard.

What the hell are you talking about Willis? Image

Oh, by the way, Reggie Jackson - I would rather have that midget Gary Coleman on my team than you.
