The Anchor Inn had the nice arcade. It had Ms PacMan, Defender, Burger Time, Tempest, Space Invaders, Time Pilot and a couple pinball machines including "Playboy," oh my! Oh and a decent jukebox, even.
The Sportsman's had Mario Brothers and Galaxian tucked into different corners.
- weeksie 12y agoOh yeah! That jukebox had Whitesnake, man! :D And yeah, the arcade at the Anchor was way better but the Sportsman was much more chill about me taking up one of their pool tables, if I recall. Sportsman also had Goonies, I think. Not that I was any good at it. I remember being super fascinated with collecting old railroad spikes from the trainyards as well. That and putting pennies on the tracks when we were waiting for the train to Portage. And I remember those old drive-on cars. When I had to pee my dad would make me wait until we were in a tunnel and then I'd open the car door and pee over the side of the train. I live in NY now. That seems like another world entirely.
