There is nothing quite like beating an arcade game with your friends when you are a kid. It is more than just a challenge, it is your savings. The feeling of victory when you reach the end is unexplainable. And that disheartening feeling of defeat as the "continue?" timer counts down and none of you have any quarters left...


Awww, C3 you nailed it right on the head. That "continue?" sign was so depressing, frustrating, heartbreaking, and maddening at the same time. I can't tell you how many times I either wanted to cry or put my fist through the display when that popped up.
