Just look at em all queueing up to play...just unreal!!!

I absolutley LOVE the shooting games at the arcade or show - buy the minimum amount, get to gauge the sights and then blow your sons mind when you win the BIGGEST toy on the rack.

These pics take me back too! Bloody hell, are we all getting old lamenting like this??

 I know my memories will be different from most here as my early arcade days were spent in England, but honestly, those pics could well be brighton Pier. When i went back 10 years ago, i HAD to go to brighton Pier again - you know what??? Its hardly changed, still got old shooters, shove pennies, fortune tellers etc. They are selling most off now,, my dad is here for Xmas - ive given instructions to just buy what he can and ship it over. Even still had Allwin machines on site.

One day i WILL set up a classic arcade here in brisbane

The last 9 pix were all taken in Sydney. The arcade ones were late 1979 and the shooting gallery were 1963

Cool pics Tony,
Looks like a Gottlieb Solar City & Recel Master Stroke sitting together.
Wouldn't it be great to go back to those days ? Just for a day even.

Just for a day ? How about just "turning the clock back" permanently !

I think that the manufacturers are clear ;

Bally, Stern, Atari, Williams, Gottlieb and Stern


?, Dracula, Superman, Disco Fever, ? and Nugent...
