When I was 13, I loved to walk about three blocks to Showbiz Pizza Place to play video games. The coolest and most expensive game at the time was Dragon’s Lair. Its animated scenes looked nothing like the games we played then… Pac-Man, Galaga, Galaxian, Donkey Kong, and Pole Position. Even with all the fancy [...]
