[ QUOTE ] In the 80's it was fairly common to wager on the outcome of video games (arcade) just like, say, pool. [/ QUOTE ] In particular, it was common for businessmen on their lunch breaks to gamble at arcades against six year old kids. At least that's what I recall from The Wizard. [/ QUOTE ] Awesome post! |
