unless you let your ship get captured and then you got shot...that would be one quarter down the drain... Even worse -- let them capture your ship, then recapture it, only to have both destroyed in a kamikazee attack.

Sounds like we've both been down this road... [/QUOTE]Let me get this straight....if you had the dual ships going......could you get recaptured and have a three some? [/QUOTE]Yes, but since you only get 3 ships per quarter (plus an extra 1 at 10,000 points), you have to be a Galaga expert to pull off this trick. I've seen people have 4 ships at once -- it was the video game equivalent of "Eyes Wide Shut."

Simply amazing...

Super Amusements arcade in whitestone used to be my 2nd home in the summertime....$10 would last me about 8 hours.

Ironically enough, I used to live in Smithtown in the mid- to late 1970's. Right off of Brooksite Drive. Small world, huh?

On the opposite side of the highway of Super Amusements, there used to be another arcade...Was that Adventurer's Inn? I heard it's a mall now. I haven't been there in 12 years...They had a game in there with a shotgun, and when the screen flashed, you would draw your gun and shoot down a cowboy on the screen. That kept me there for 1/2 a day at a time.

[/QUOTE]Wow...about 5 min from my house....Actually my soon to be house...going to closing on August 30th.....very excited from going from Long Beach, which is a great place if you are single, to Eastern North Shore....I like my peace and quiet...should be nice

In regard to Whitestone...I know the area very well...was with a girl from there for 3 years, whom lives in the Garden apartments off of Utopia (I think)

So basically we were all addicted to video games at one point, but when we "grew up" we all somehow latched onto fantasy sports. I'd love it if someone could draw a connection between those two hobbies.
