When space invaders hit the arcades they also appeared in pubs. But you 
could never get near them.
A couple pf months ago. There was an article on the BBC site, saying 
that a retro arcade game shop had opened in London.

Not me. I am hopeless at games. I've played: Kingdom on a PDP11, 
Colossus Cave on a unix machine connected to my terminal by Tropo 
Scatter. (Press key and read a page of a book, in the summertime.)
Altho' I must admit that I've become addicted to Elite. The space cowboy 
game.
