Thx for another fine addition

[Centaur Machine]

I swear I could almost smell the cigarette smoke from the sleazy bars when I played this...thank you for this very nice table, JP!

I actually said something very similar about Alien Star. In fact I thought you were taking my line, but you said it first!

It's weird how memories can be linked to colors, tastes, and smells, but it's possible. How it happens is that there is some overlap of duties from parts of the brain that process this information. There are rare cases of people born in which they have this issue at all times.

Anyway, I'm going to try this table now too. Wow, it's like trying a new flavor.

But I was telling my brother -- who has owned hundreds of classic arcade and pinball games -- I don't like it. The smell of dusty classic arcade games upsets me. But I seem to have issues with memories - they make me sad. I guess because it was so long ago and half the people are dead, and I'm half dead now too (being middle aged). The more retro something looks, the more it upsets me. If you are in your 30's or whatever like me, have a look at all the old toy commercials and advertisements, and see if that doesn't take you back.
