While all the video games at the 1984 Arcade are set to free play, the pinball machines are not. They're set to a quarter, which helps cover the cost of maintenance, and more likely keeps the kiddos from playing and beating on them all day long.
As I was lamenting that I didn't bring any change with me, Robb pulled out a roll of quarters which he said his new lady friend sent with him when she heard he was going to an arcade.
That right there's marriage material. Just sayin'. :)
For the record, when my wife and I moved in with each other, she unpacked three items in a row: an NES, a Commodore 128, and a framed picture of the 3 Stooges. I knew right then and there, it was love.
