12:44 pm

MollyL

Oh it can't still cost a quarter to play

12:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

i wonder, are there still quarter slots? I am sure yo have to play at least 4 at a time if so

12:45 pm

MollyL

Do people really still post LOL! after things that aren't funny?

12:53 pm

hokie carla

well I'm not even sure such places still exist to take a quarter, but yes some of them had started costing 2 or 4 quarters the last time I was in one 20 or 30 years ago, but since most everyone here was around back in the day of the arcade, I figured it was a safe clue.

12:53 pm

hokie carla

LOL

2:03 pm

welki
