Think I'd prefer Moon Cresta, Phoenix, or even Galaxians, but I do like the tables, gives some functionality. Used to be one in the Trent once. Aye, but you can pick up 60-1 game boards for £30 these days that have all these games on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21638 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Some class games there. I like the fact you can just play these for 15 minutes or so rather than have to invest the time to play a full modern game, which is pretty impossible with a young family and job. When I was about 13 I bought a book on how to beat Pac man. Memorised all the paths for the mazes, got pretty proficient playing it in the Spanish city. Got to the 7th key once (the 9th key is the last level), surrounded by a crowd. At that level the energisers don't even work. More than 35 years later I can still remember the exact paths but no longer have the dexterity to use them. 🤷♂️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the complication of cats, I'd have gone for a border terrier or lakeland, but I'm not gonna try and pair them with two cats. So a cuddly Teddy Bear dog it is.

Monkeys Fist 42460 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 My son was like this- until about a year or so ago, every time we went anywhere, there’d be an armful of sticks coming back/ which were then added to his “collection”. TLDR: My son is a mutt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
