When I finally got my chance, I stood there and went through all my lives almost instantly but I didn’t mind.

I immediately went to the token machine and cashed my $2.00 dollars and waited in the small line to play. I could not believe the technology I was witnessing in my hometown arcade.

The programmers had literally made the jump graphically from Space Invaders to full blooded animation and it was playable.
#SPACE ACE DEXTER MODEL SHEETS MOVIE#
This game was a cartoon, a literal animated movie inside a wooden gaming cabinet. Then someone walked over and plunked in their 50 cents. I just stood there in awe watching the demo screen. One day we went in there and saw a game called “Dragon’s Lair”. This was a tradition that continued every Saturday for the longest time.ĭream Machine continued to bring in new games and back in those days before the internet, you would just show up and hope to see a new game with better graphics. We would show up with our two dollar allowance and stretch that money out for hours and hours, playing away the day on such classics as Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, and Q-Bert. The second floor consisted of older games like pinball and Arcade Classics like Punch-Out. The main floor would have all the newest releases wedged in with all the ticket based games like Skeeball. I felt like I was walking into a casino made just for kids. I looked up and saw the “Dream Machine” words done up in the Pac-Man font and heard tons of different game sounds coming from inside. I remember the first time standing outside its doors peeking in. To a young kid this place was all kinds of awesome. If you asked me the whole mall should have revolved around “Dream Machine”, which was the name of the arcade chain that was gracious enough to have an outlet at our mall. The whole shopping arena was built around a Sears and Roebuck store which was the reason for the name. Every Saturday my brother and I would take a bike ride down to this mall which was called Sears Town. Thankfully we lived close to a mall that had one of these fun places in it. The games you would find there would boast better graphics and game play all wrapped in neatly designed wooden cabinet cases. The arcades back then had the allure of going to an amusement park. Even though the Atari was fun it still didn’t hold a candle to the arcades.
