	I'm actually replying to the guy who 
mentioned Discs of Tron, I wasted much quarters
playing that one. Awesome game, I eventually got
to the point where I could play as long as I 
wanted to on ONE quarter. I remember when this
game came out in the UCLA arcade it only had 
one competitor, but that one competitor was
Gauntlet and Discs of Tron sat and collected
dust.
	BTW, does anyone remember a first-person
arcade game that involved shooting robots w/these
funky doors in their chests (doors that when opened
revealed a laser cannon that it then shot at you).
This game is the FIRST first-person shooter I
ever remember seeing (and it pre-dated Ultima 
Underworld, Wolfenstein etc. by roughly 2 years.).
I first saw this game in the arcade at UCLA in
the student union in 1987 or 1988. 
	Nostalgia, only for the old...
