Penny Arcade or What Did You Do in the 60s, Daddy? $34.66 The memoirs of Singer/Songwriter SAMMY KING "DID YOU REALLY SELL PENNY ARCADE TO ROY ORBISON FOR A FIVER?… ‘Penny Arcade’ is MY story. My own account of what it was like growing up in a working class community in post war West Yorkshire. The struggle to survive a life threatening illness in infancy, the disappointment of having one’s only ambition in life shattered by an accident that resulted in a two yesr stay in hospital. How music helped to fill the void it le and the awkward journey through an adolescence hampered by disability and sensitivity. This book tells about the pressures of the life ‘on the road’, the stars I met and worked with along the way, the pitfalls of trying to ‘burn the candle at both ends’, the darkness of a complete mental breakdown, a broken marriage, turning down a ‘shot at ‘the big time’ in order to bring up a baby daughter alone, whilst still finding time to entertain on the northern club scene. And of course how writing the song ‘Penny Arcade’ and the historic meeting with the ‘Big O’ completely changed my life… …Oh, and you might find a few laughs in there too To visit Sammy King website use http://www.sammyking.net

Antique Arcade Game Ads – 1930s to 1940s $25.33 When you say the word arcade, most people have visions of pixel eating monsters, but there was another time, a time before… Long before video games there were arcades. Arcades that were filled with fascinating machines that demonstrated the latest technology. Machines engineered to attract players and to entice the uninterested into dropping a penny, nickle, dime, and later a quarter in the slot. These were some of the most amazing entertainment machines produced. Unfortunately, many of them no longer exist. These games represent a special part of history. A time when looming war and the promise of victory, economic strife of the Depression, and social change permeated society including the games people played. Today these machines are among the most collectable and rarest games. This book looks at the advertisements and flyers that were used to promote these games. Manufacturers used these flyers and ads to convince arcade operators to buy their products. These ads were made long before the glitz of four color printing was the standard. They relied on selling the sizzle by promising the latest advancements in game design and the potential to make the operator a lot of money. This collection includes games from the 1930′s to the 1940′s. There are also some coin-op devices such as video jukeboxes from the 50′s and 60′s. There are also some advertisements related to the carnival industry which used the same machines as the arcade industry.
