So, um, I thought that that one might work for you.

Also, the art is by Udon, who do, um, they do a lot of the Street Fighter, Darkstalkers stuff, and it's a really pretty book.

Oh, hell yeah, Astro Boy, my jam.

Ah, well done.

You could go to spots around town and they'd have a few arcade machines that they'd keep up.

I mean, I played Games Here Forever as late as, like, Darkstalkers and, you know, like, all throughout the '80s and '90s I did that.

But yeah, but also besides that, I did go to the Arcade Arcade, which was a bit farther out.

But yeah, there, that's where they had all the big cabinets, right? That's where you'd play stuff like Ridge Racer, or Daytona USA-

Like, that was a, that was a huge part of my life.

I was a huge just Capcom head, just, like, Street Fighter, Darkstalkers.

I mean, hell, have this memory of, like, a Toys "R" Us.
