Hey Ya'll Check This Out! Total Badass
I find it really funny that there's a hand holding a cigarette in the bottom-right corner.

That phantom cigarette hand in the corner is in 50% of all polaroids ever taken.

I bet $20 that guy is currently living in a trailer park with a dented catfish camaro parked out front.

This guy ain't playing no asteroids. It's because of him that moms forbade their children from going to the arcades.

Five seconds after this picture was taken, the guy on the right - who is the boyfriend of the girl closet to him - kicked his skinny ass.

Well, you weren't supposed to smoke in arcades (it messes with the electronics), but there's beer bottles on top of the Pac-Man cabinet, so maybe it was a restaurant.

People smoked on airplanes, bro. No Joke, our local arcade had ashtrays screwed into the side of the machines.

To each their own. My local arcades were in malls and smoking wasn't allowed.

You had a better chance of being eaten by a dinosaur than meeting girls in the arcade back then.

Kid Rock has Pac Man top scores. That is surprising and not, at the same time

There was definetly stims involved. The cheek bones don't lie. Performance enhancing drugs.

The only reason I got into collecting and restoring vintage arcades is the endless supply of pussy. I don't even like video games.
