Growing up, I remember that I used to visit arcades, roller skating rinks, even places like Dairy Queen that used to have the classic arcade games just to waste my quarters.  I wish that I could provide an accurate number in dollars as to how much I reallly used up on those arcade games, but I just can't.  This was before the arcade industry pumped out titles like Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, or even Killer Instinct to save the industry from going under for good.  I remember playing games like Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Tron, Spy Hunter, the classics.

A few weeks ago while flipping through the channels on a Sunday afternoon, I caught "The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters" on G4 and actually watched it.  It really wasn't bad at all for a documentary.  I could give a review on this one, but chances are you (the reader) really wouldn't check the title out.  So, I'm just using the documentary title and classic gaming subject to tie-in this video clip from Robot Chicken.  It's called "Donkey Kong Meets Halo".  Now where was this game when I was a kid?  Shyte... I feel cheated.  HA!
