  1. Rainbow- Death Alley Driver

    Especially the music video, I think somebody's playing Pole Position.


  2. Bad Company ''Rock And Roll Fantasy'' , Ted Nugent ''Wango Tango'' , Eddie Money ''Shakin' ''  

  3. Dang dude, that's funny !

    I agree with the two you picked for sure....probably add Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benatar and Freeze Frame by J Giles Band  

  4. I loved video arcades, thats one thing I miss about today. I remember my local chip shop had two of the most awesome games, Street Fighter and Bubble Bobble but no more sadly :(

    A song I remember is Welcome To The Jungle by GNR (I know it's late 80's/early 90's but early 90's was when I was in arcades.

  5. Brass in Pocket--The Pretenders

  6. rock you like a hurricane - scorpians or cruel summer - bananarama

  7. he,he,he. A whole lot of memories in the 80's.

    The one that really comes to mind is ha,ha, Pac-man fever.Then it's

    Van Halen - Jump

    Men without hats - The safety dance

    Eddie Grant - Electric ave.

    Men at work - Down under

    Styx - Grand illusion

    Their are many more but can't name them.

  8. Mr. Roboto

    Abracadabra-Steve Miller Band


  9. All early Cars or early Van Halen. Maybe Blondie or Pat Benatar.  The sounds of Miss Pacman or Defender or Donky Kong. Man I haven't thought about things like that in years. GOOD QUESTION!.

  10. lol,

    okay well .

    I always thnk Of "Walk this way"  And '  Let the music do the talking" ( aerosmith).   it dosent remind me,  I THINK about being in a arcade in the 80's, ( i sayed i THINK about it bc i wasnet even born in the 80's) .

    Well, i was in ecuador, like maybe 3 months ago and i waent to a mall with my brother, and we went into an Arcade,  wiht video games,a dn lazers, and "The dance game", where u have to follow arrows adn jump on the arrows, kida like DDR. (like this >> http://www.patentarcade.com/ddr.jpg ),   And there were kids getting off school, and they all went into the arcade and the kids looked like they were  kids from the 80's . it was like they were "delade" 28 years in ecuador.  Anyways, THEY were SO into the game, and crouding around the people dancing,  and yelling, for someone to mess up, IT was soo funny. the kids were such Show-offs, i was laughing so hard

    anywyas, i remmeber those songs playing at the time. , so i THink about arcades,,

  11. I WAS there, and i bet it was some Madonna song i suppose, or maybe a Michael Jackson tune, No wait! "Eye of the Tiger" man! LOL!  Actually , i played that "Jungle Hunt" game a lot , which if you know, has a tune that went along with it , and THAT really sticks out in my head. I'm a musician myself , and can actually play the song out today.
