What year was that? The only arcade that had anything worth playing was the Electronic Corral in Lakewood Mall CA. I remember they had two prototype Dragon's Lairs in there, but no star rider, the only other arcade in Lakewood was the Timeout (I think it was a Timeout) across from the movie house that had a DL. I'm talking early 1980s.

While we are reminiscing, ever went to the Sega Centers in Downey, Cerritos, Westminster and Old Towne Mall? Or how about the underground arcade at Redondo Beach near the marina? With 12 Star Wars uprights and 7 Dragon's Lairs?

Those was the days....

Gems to rescue and stuff to fix in Mame:

Time Gal
Freedom Fighter
The ALG Games
Attack of the Zolgear
Galaxian 3 (is this still being dumped?)
Sound in Space Tactics
Sound in Starfire (dunno about this one)
Pengo (colors)
