They created the equivalent to video game crack: Tetris

Yay for the Cold War! Evil Spock can't wait for Red Dawn II!

We dropped many a quarter in quite a few Tetris machines in our day.

I won't even try to keep up withe boys and all their tetristosterone. I stuck to Galaga and the PacMan games.

And here's a question. What does the Cold War mean for global warming?

Dr. Monkey Von Monkerstein said...

Galaga and the family of Pac Man games ruled as well and I spent a small fortune playing them too.

With that idiot in the White House it can't mean anything good for us.

I was writin' video games back when the Cold War was the big damn deal, and I gotta point out that the games you call ours are actually Japanese.

Just sayin'.
