    In 1976 a guy I knew paid £70 for a Pong game. It had no on-screen scoring, the box had dimples on top and came with two Ball bearings that you moved along the dimples to keep score.

    That's Old Skool.

    I got a ZX Spectrum48k bought for me in London, cos Scotland was sold out.
    It was 1981 and it cost £120.

    best old school arcade games were asteroids,defender ( although too many buttons ) tempest and missile command.

    i would probably be quite well off if it wasnt for them.

    best pinball was gorgar by the way.
