Vintage 1980′s Arcade Buttons

Ahhhh.. The early 1980′s, hanging out in cramped arcades with sticky floors, sporting my jean jacket covered with buttons..

Probably even had a few of these gems..

Most of the popular arcade games of the time..

They measure 1.5″ x 1.5″

“I Have Pac-Man Hangover” Pacman Video Game Sticker

Dated 1980.

Released by Fleer.

Came with Pac-Man cards that resembled a scratch-ticket.

You can click on the photos (and then again on the next page) for a larger view.

It’s a 2 page promo sheet to the Don Bluth arcade game Dragon’s Lair. The game hit the market on July 1st, 1983.

Using “Laser Disc Technology” they were able to pack 22 min of animation into a beautiful, yet utterly unplayable, arcade game.

hmmmm.. nothing like smashing the barrell into the wall.. over and over.. dollar after dollar…

Never played “Space Ace”… Wonder if the controls were as useless as Dragon’s Lair?

And now you can play it on your iPhone.
