that the old timer's will like it and some of you young'ens will
appriciate it too. ;-)

It's just the Time Tunnel pics from Flickr faded together with a song. (?)

Am I missing something.

Yeah, your missing the memory triggers. I never went to a Time Tunnel
or the other arcade whose pics was used, but seeing the potpourri of
vids and pins, oh how the memories of the arcades I used to haunt just
flooded my mind. I can think of several songs that would be better to
go with this, but I thought it was pretty good.

Yeah, like I miss that Indy 800 game (8-player driving game). Glad to
see a pic of one.

No, I was around then. What I meant was- I thought everyone knew about
those same pics on Flickr a couple of years back. They are cool, but
this just puts a song behind it. You can grab higher resolution
versions of these shots from the original Flickr set or from

OK, well, I don't waste a lot of time browsing flickr. So many pictures
of absolutely no relevance or interest. However, someone here put
together a collection set to music, posted it here, and I found it
interesting. There's too much on the internet for google to even know
about, let alone little ol' me.

Yeah, it's just those old Time Out Tunnel pics. I just wanted to make
them flow together, and with the name of the song "I wanna go back" it
just seemed to fit. It's cool to show somebody who isn't into the old
classics as they can just sit and watch. I think it came out great for
what I was trying to do.

As far as the Indy 800 goes, there is a guy in Austrialia who just
bought one from the US and will be restoring it.

Oh, how I wish I still had some old video footage from some STL arcades
I shot for a TV show back in the 80's. Similar to these pics
conceptually, but game screens dancing, people hunched in playing,
attract modes, etc. Sadly, I made the mistake of not archving that
footage to my own collection.
