I remember going to the local miniature golf course as a kd. They had a castle that was a arcade inside and we'd eat pizza and play games for hours.

I had a texas instruments instead of atari. I remember some mountain climber game i was aweful at.

You brought up the TMNT arcade game! I played it all the time. I was donatello. I think my buddy and i killed an entire summer playing that game. And youre right the other tmnt game was just too hard. I couldn't get anywhere in that game and the controls were finicky.
