Happy 4th Of July

We wanted to go ahead and wish everyone a Happy 4th (even our Canadian readers)!  I hope most of you get the chance to take it easy this weekend and have a little fun with your friends and family.  This is a great chance to get off the internet and have a little fun in the non-virtual world.  If you can’t think of too many things to be happy about, just realize that by next year at this time, GW will no longer be in office.  Drink plenty of beer and light a sparkler or two…

Happy 25th Anniversary, ‘Dragon’s Lair’

To think I first played you when I too, was a wee young strapping lad. I remember the time when I first approached your arcade cabinet. First of all, getting to you was a difficult task. Going to ‘Big Mouth’ in North

Bergen, NJ was not the nicest crowd of kids. Your cabinet had a smell of freshly glued artwork on the side and your screen was nothing I’ve seen before. I looked on as others played before me, trying to find a spot where my quarter can sit (letting everyone else know, I had next).

Finally, it was my turn. I was a bit intimidated by the colorful screen and superb graphics. One thing you forgot to mention, a joystick and ONE button? How the hell was I supposed to throw a haduken. Action Button? Oh well, I managed to play but could never get out of the way of those bats!
