So, here is Pac-Man, Frogger, Centipede, Donkey Kong, Asteroids, Defender, and the last two on the right are kind of small and I can’t recognize them.


For me, when my family would go to Valley West Mall in Glendale, Arizona, there was a game arcade there called Bag-A-Tel. My first go-to game was Atari’s Star Wars sit-down cabinet! If someone was there already, I’d go to Atari/Namco’s Pole Position II sit-down cabinet. I have so many great memories of that arcade. Valley West Mall died, was reborn as Manistee Town Center and died again. It was eventually demolished for the movie “Eight-Legged Freaks.”

That Atari Star Wars game was my go-to in the arcade as well… until Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, anyhow.
