Russ' Stuff

Ahhh, nostalgia. Remember the good old days? You can remember way back then, walking into a smoky room, filled with the sounds of various arcade games and the people that played them. You walk past the neon signs advertising Coca Cola and malts, past the pool tables, past the soda fountain, into the catacombs of arcade machines, stacked against each other. You see familiar faces: Joust...Robotron...Asteroids...Defender...Pac-Man...all waiting patiently for your quarters. You saunter up to a change machine, and slip a five-dollar bill into the slot. In a moment, the machine spews out your change, which you greedily scoop into your pockets. Feeling rich beyond your dreams, you browse among the comforting wooden arcade cabinets, looking for an empty machine. You see Donkey Kong, in it's Nintendoesque splendor, blipping away in Demo Mode. You slip a quarter into the metal slot, and listen to the satisfying "ch-kerchunk" of the coin being accepted. The machine acknowledges your contribution with a bleep and starts playing...you become Jump Man, before you changed your name to Mario and your job to become a plumber...You are trying to rescue Pauline from the clutches of the hairy ape, who taunts you by rolling barrels down your path. The arcade, the sounds, the smells, all fade away...and you play.
