Hello all.

Reaching here, as most of you young guys may not remember this decade.
Anyway, back in the 80s era, arcades where the norm, and very popular. This pre dated internet, though I did have an Atari 2600 back then.
Any old farts like myself remember those days, sound off.
Got to add. Had an arcade in my town, visited by not just them but those from at least 50 miles away. Just to boast a bit.

Back then I was one of the best in an arcade game called Asteroids. The arcade I frequented had a year long top score for each arcade game they had. I won tops in 1981 with a score of around 96,000. Can not remember the actual score, heck it was back in the 80s.

Lost the following year, but won again in 1983 with a score of 300,000. Yeah I what you called it then, flipped the game 3 times. Closest score to me that year was one guy flipping the game once. To those that do not know, Asteroids score went as high as 99,990. When you got past 100,000 game flipped to zero.
Anyway, to prove my post, here are the two trophies I still own from winning high score for the years 1981, and 1983.
