>Hear about a game called dragons lair from a kid who visited an arcade in another city
>"its like dungeons and dragons and there is a lizard man and a dragon and all kinds of traps and..."
>for 3 days over the schoolyard we had the game described to us. Imaginations ran wild
>A month later it made it's way to a local arcade
>The game was featured in the local newspaper and on the 6 o'clock news
>it was a month long wait before I could play it (literally hour long lineup just to get close enough to watch people play it)
>$0.50 machine in 1983
>I had $2 and that lasted for mere minutes as it was just death followed by death
>grinning ear to ear and did not care
>went home and dreamed about dragons lair

I really though I was living in the future.
