It's actually a reference to Clerks: the Animated Series.

And to those who think I should change it because something else came along and was more popular:

Geeze Morph. Know your audience. (reply)

It's only funny when you are completely ignorant of the game design choices that Arcade games used vs console or PC games.

In the early 80s this teenager worked in a record store. We did a promotion for the album featuring the song "Pac Man Fever." For the duration of this promotion we set up a table-top Pac Man machine in the front area of our store through an arrangement with a local arcade. It was so popular/profitable that we got two more machines set up in the back on a more permanent basis. Those were Zaxxon and Kick-Man. The latter was pretty good (think a combination of Space Invaders and Tetris featuring a clown on a unicycle and balloons), but my real love was Zaxxon. Several of got into the habit of playing our entire lunch or dinner break, after wolfing down a sandwich in two minutes. I got pretty good at Zaxxon. Our dirty secret was that we'd use a magic marker to put our initials on the quarters we used, and we'd get our money back at the end of the night. Screw you, microtransactions!

It cost me nearly $12 to beat the Terminator 2 arcade game for the first time.

And then there was Space Lords, which I could play for 5 hours on $0.75. That game probable caused the company to go belly up.

Street Fighter 2 was a cash cow for arcades. Someone put in $0.25 every two minutes.

IT'S A CONSPIRACY! LOL. (reply)
