  • Now that's what I call creative!

  • @TheJediCharles

    Absolutely. When I was a kid, arcades had become less popular and there were none in my town. When I went to my first arcade, I was just mesmerized. Then I got an Atari :D

    These old games that were more hardware than software I still find fascinating. Who would have an idea to construct something like this? It's one this to have a game idea and stick it on a console or smart phone, but to have to build the whole "game system" yourself like in the video? That impresses me.

  • @Triskitout

    Not as much as I mean that technology has advanced so much and is so omnipresent that it's lost it's luster. It's taken for granted. Kids are not impressed with it, but still insist on it. Now, something like this Speedway that used to fascinate is "ho hum". Kids today don't know what that feeling is like to see something like this for the first time back in it's hay day.

  • @TheJediCharles What? Do you mean to say technology has become less spellbinding?

  • @ctdsnark

    A wonder lost on kids today. They have so little to be spellbound with anymore.

  • This fascinated the hell out of me when I was a kid---I'd spend hours staring into that cabinet trying to figure out how it worked.

  • @CoolDudeClem Electrical contacts on cars drawn on spinning disks projected on a mirror, believe me, this video game was very popular and could be played everywhere back in early 70's

  • First time I saw this game in Argentina was in the middle 70s. I was about 10 years old (now 45) and used to beg my parents to take me to the place and give me some coins. I can t believe it. I thought it was called Speed King. May be it was an alternate version or may be it is a long time for me to remember the exact name. But what is incredible is that i remember exactly the sound and noises. Wow!! I miss those times...

  • @StaciAutumns This is similar but not exactly the same as the game from "Dawn of the dead" as that one displays an "animation" (or more like a moving slide) when you crash.

  • @CoolDudeClem lol its just barely a "video" game
