    Delorean! ;)


    Let's imagine that would be possible, I want to be dropped off around
    1975 with the knowledge (but my 11 year old body at this year) I have
    today, having five years to "prepare" for the 1980s. Playing all the old games when they were brand new (yes I know MAME, and that you are also a
    fan, posting in AGM) and listen to my favorite songs when they entered the music charts for the first time.

    Yeah. I visited an arcade place with a relative last year. It wasn't the
    same when we played. Old bodies (ouch, carpal syndromes), old hardwares,
    broken controls, etc. Bleh!

    Yes, first you have to get hold of a DeLorean before you can even build a
    time machine. Dunno what is harder. ;-)

    You forgot the other parts for it like a flux capacitor, plutonium, etc.

    Those parts I have in my fridge - just in case I get my hands on a DeLorean. ;-)

    Last real machine I played 2003 or so. Real but very punished Galaga cab.

    Yea, it's sad.

    May be the wrong term. By that date it was probably 22 years old and
    perhaps in use since then, but badly maintained.

    Ah.

    Frustrating.
