#pinball #PastTimesArcade Past Times had a fun 'afterdark' event today where they turned off all the overhead lights, pasted out glow sticks, etc. It was a fun event. Rob Berk was there today as well putting in his new Mario pin addition.

#arcade #PastTimesArcade Mr. Do! (Universal 1982). One of my favorite games. This is the original by Universal, Mr. Do looks a lot like dig dug in this, but plays the same. The Taito version is what most people remember.
