Many after-school afternoons since the age of maybe 8 were spent at the 7-11 or the lobby of a nearby mini-mall plugging quarters into these machines. I also enjoyed the table-top version that you'd occasionally see at a bowling alley, bar (like Lakeside Lounge, but I haven't been there in years) or bowling alley barhttp://www.youthlarge.com/bibimbop/2008/04/ms-pac-man.htmlyouthlargetag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8313020.post-462467972268005458Tue, 12 Feb 2008 12:57:00 +00002008-02-12T07:57:18.398-05:00europecannesLa plage Les chiens This little guy was at the market.
