John OreoviczGUEST
It's like walking into a 1979 time warp with the dark wood and the little s- place where you can watch them make the pizza, and the little salad bar, and the Galaga machine and everything.

Ron HallettHOST

Ron HallettHOST
I played the Space Invaders and or Galaga.
Ron HallettHOST
They had in a row, in succession, because they only had room for one game, they had Meteor, Gorgar, and Playboy.
Ron HallettHOST

JamieHOST
