You know you're nearing 50 in Adelaide, when you remember...

[Leaping Lindner]

Again it might be more a closer to 50 thing but who went to Brady's upstairs in Adelaide Arcade (above Hughes and Loveday)? They had a dozen or so full size billard tables and a side room full of pinball machines. We use to go there after school play the pinnies and smoke......not that good Saints boys ever smoked in uniform.

Saints boy LL? - I had a fondness for boys wearing royal blue and white - they were so much nicer than PAC boys

Used to hang out with a heap of them every friday night at the Academy - big hangout for college kids back in the day for the pinnies that were there. I was a Wonderboy queen .

Hackney High beats Kent Town Tech anyday of the week!!!
Brady's was a good place to sneak a durrie as our prefects were too scared to go there!!!

A couple of young (well early 20's) punk/thrash bands I book gigs for call me Dad. I keep saying to them "Back in my day....."

Pfft .. Deluded!!

Always had a penchant for the SAC girls, because they always seemed .. Umm .. More amenable to displays of affection

I remember when they were MLC girls.

LMFAO

[CENTURION]

You used to go to the flicks on a friday night in the A framed Methodist church on Park Terrace Salisbury, across the road from my old school, Salisbury Primary. Then, at about 11 pm, I would walk home on my own, lived up near Holdens. You can't do that these days.

Yes, MLC changed its name to Annesley. MLC in Melbourne were also going to change their name (during the period I taught there), planning on naming their school after the lady who founded it (Ms Fitchett). However, they realised that the name may be a problem (Fitchett Uniting College Kew)
If unsure, look at the first letter of each word in the title the school nearly became.

Seymour used to be Presbyterian Girls College, however Fort Battle-Axe always refers to P.G.C., her old 'alma mater',
as Prostitutes Glee Club. I thoroughly disagree with this frivolous disparagement. Having actually married one of their
escapees, P.G.C. will always stand for ........ Perverted Gorgon Creatures !!!

I was a Wonderboy queen .

Ah yes Wonderboy. That was my game back then. At my peak I used to get pissed off if I didn't break a million. The cloud jump at the end of area 7 round 2 was the bane of my existence but on the rare occasions I got past it I always finished the game (without all the dolls so I never saw the eighth area).

These days I can't remember where all the hidden dolls and letters are and struggle to break 300 thousand.

Hang on, whaddya mean "these days"? Where can you play it?

[RJM]

Unfortunately not on an actual machine, at least not anywhere I know of here in Adelaide. I keep getting beaten out on ebay auctions for Wonderboy boards to go in one of my machines. I'm stuck with emulation. MAME to be exact. It runs the arcade version arcade perfect along with 1000's of other games although having an arcade style joystick setup helps. The last time I played an actual arcade Wonderboy machine was in the states back in early June. When I finally get hold of a Wonderboy board Robocop is getting the elbow and I'm getting back in practice.

Edit: forget 300 thousand. I just fired up the emulator for old times sake. Screenshots attached.

This was my game.

Clocked with my eyes closed when I was 14.

Stumbled across it at a dodgy fish'n'chip shop a while back.

Couldn't get past the first level.

At least it was still 40 cents!
