Crazy Climber. Summer of 1980 I was staying at my grandparents and the cool kid who lived next door came by and said "Let's go to the sub shop!". I'm like why would I go to the sub shop, my grandmother gets me whatever I want to eat, I'm all hopped up on Pepsi and Froot Loops. But as it turns out they had video games at the sub shop, first time I had played arcade games (my parents lived in the country at the time).
They had Asteroids and Space Invaders and a few others, but Crazy Climber is the one I remember most. There went my next four years - after I got back from summer vacation we moved into town directly across the park from a 7-11 with a game room. It was right before Pac-Man came out and things exploded and there were arcades all over the place.
The cool kid introduced me to punk rock and reggae too. Thanks!
