I think that this is one of my favorite spots in all of Central Park…Bethesda Arcade. It’s a small little tunnel that connects the Central Park Mall to Bethesda Terrace. It’s adorned with amazing stonework and beautiful tiles that make it a true work of art.
I really love that game. I think the aliens are buggers (sorry, I mean formics!) like the aliens of Ender’s Game (from Orson Scott Card). TOYZ!! Plasticine / Special / Ufouria / Gungun / Design /

From the chart below it is clear to see 1980’s consisted mostly of Pacman and pizza.
Asteroids was a video arcade game released in 1979 by Atari Inc. It was one of the most popular and influential games of the Golden Age of Arcade Games. The objective of Asteroids was to score as many points as possible by destroying asteroids and flying saucers. The player controlled a ship that could rotate left and right, fire shots straight forward, and thrust forward. The player could also send their ship into hyperspace, causing it to disappear and reappear in a random location on the screen (with the risk of self-destructing or appearing on top of an asteroid). Each stage started with a few asteroids drifting in random directions on the screen. Objects wrapped around the screen edges. As the player shots asteroids, they broke into smaller asteroids which frequently moved faster and were more difficult to hit. Smaller asteroids also scored higher points. Periodically, a flying saucer appeared on one side of the screen and moved across to the other before disappearing again. There was a minimalist soundtrack featuring a memorable deep-toned electronic “heartbeat”, which quickened as the asteroid density was reduced by the player’s fire. Once the screen had been cleared of all asteroids and flying saucers, a new set of large asteroids appeared. The number of asteroids increased each round up to a maximum of twelve. The game was over when the player had lost all remaining lives.

Here are 5 great reasons to eat 5 portions of fruit and vegetables A DAY They’re packed with vitamins and minerals. They can help you to maintain a healthy weight. They’re an excellent source of fibre and antioxidants. They help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and some cancers. They taste delicious and there’s so much variety to choose from. No such advice in the 1980s when all that mattered was the Wacka Wacka Wacka sound of the gobbling yellow circle as you risked RSI and frittered away your pocket money on endless attempts to beat the days high score. How times have changed!
coming soon AFTER-LIFE and ‘DEATH’
So, I’ve just dropped the GF off at work and as I’m heading home I find this disused garage. The doors are broken and I take a look inside the old workshop. Hmmm nothing here but an old busted up arcade game with its chair… so I grab my trusty camera and my monopod and set the chair up in the middle of the workshop. Now apart from the hole in the roof and the light from the door its dark in here, so I set the timer on the camera to 20 secs so as to avoid any camera shake. I took a few pics and then thought I’d have a smoke and a think about what else I could do with this place. So I switched the camera off (or so I thought, I’d actually pressed the shutter button instead) and sat down to think about the hole in the roof and the light coming through it… Click went the camera. So here’s the result… Me trespassing and smoking a cigarette in somebody’s workplace. Either way you look at it I’m now a criminal an I’m just waiting for the knock at the door!
For the gamer – or the idiot – inside every one of us.
