'..I_O-you'

The old 'ARCADE AMUSEMENTS' ("the West’s oldest amusement arcade..") in Manitou Springs,Colorado has been a cornerstone of childhood and the whole town of Manitou is pretty much the last place i can relax and be myself around the Southern Colorado area. I grew up with the arcade which is a work of art within itself as well as a history of arcade games ranging thru' most of the 20th century.. the 1920s-1990s and beyond. With that..it also serves as an interactive museum!! Not to oddly enough..i am home there..

One lonely night in late August of 2004 .. i snapped some odd pix here and there around the arcade..

....i love TRON..but i hate TRON.. ..i suXX at Tron when i was little and i still suck at TRON.. i don't know how to beat the f7cking thing ..the Cone thing is the hardest for me.. once in awhile i get thru' it but rare..usually i get so frustrated i gotta go move to a diff game.. ah hell the Tekkens are easier to beat.. gah i'm dumm .. ..o well i still love the movie.. and i'd prolly be able to get thru 2.0 .. but i dunno..TRON TRON TRON..

..the first time i gotta see Tron was where there now stands a f6cking Wal-mart..same one i ended up living a 7 miute walk away ,ironically. It was at the old 'Arcadia Drive-in' ..mawm and pop took me to see a double feature.. Snow White and Tron .. ..i don't remember too much..i know we saw alot of movies at that drive-in.. they closed it down in 1995.. the Wal-mart was built right on top of my memories.. gee

.. god i love this game.. prFugifilm Finepix A200o..- August 2004
