Playing with all video games was the only reason to go to Sears. JCPenny would usually have a Mac stashed someplace, but all you could do with it was paint waffle patterns on the screen. ;) I never appreciated the vectrex while it was out, I wish I had gotten one in hindsight.

It is really amazing how well the arcade vector screens have held up over the years, I have never seen one with phosphor burn or screen issues. Which is good because nobody has made those in decades, doubt retro arcade enthusiasts are enough of a market that anyone ever will again.

All the Neo-Geo cabinets I've found lately have had a heavy green tint. Its like they all went within a couple years of each other. I'm not sure why people don't swap out the screens while CRTs are still easy to obtain.
