What's this?

That's a good memory (at least before the ending of course)

There was a solid machine at the Dominoes gas station in KDH on the bypass that had a crazy good fire button back in the day (early-mid '90s). It was there a good 3 or 4 years; my buddy Sonny and I spent many evenings letting our pizza get cold just killing it on that machine; one night I watched Sonny blow through 700,000 points ON HIS FIRST SHIP. He was a phenom at Galaga (Ms. Pacman too). Another great machine appeared at a movie theater in Chesapeake for awhile - just that perfect spring action, it felt like you could fire twice as much as a regular machine.

Good times.
