What's the arcade game where there are 4 players and you're in this dungeon thing, and you have to shoot like a billion ghosts coming out of the houses. And you eat the turkey thing to gain health, then shoot the house to stop th ghosts.
It said things like
Green Elf Shot Yellow Wizard
Yellow Wizard shot the food!
Then this death character would come and if he touched you your life would g down really fast.

It's not Gauntlet is it? that's the usual 4p game you see around and it has
different classes like elf, wizard etc. I've played it on the C64 etc but it's
always great to play on the original cabinet at the local annual retro arcade
and pinball festival ("NERG")
There are a few retro Pinball arcades and Barcades in SF (or at least there pre-Covid). I always mean to check them out--- but I never do. Maybe one d :-)
Ah we don't have anywhere permanent except for the odd pub that we might find a pin in, but the uk pinball community tend to donate their machines to the various events that pop up round the country
As for consoles and computers i get by tinkering with my own collection, but it's a shame that the events were cancelled for so long, but even pre-covid the smart attendees would bring hand sanitizer as that many share machines was always a sure-fire way to get a summer cold!
Yeah, I think we're lucky in SF to have 2 large pinball arcades, one in the City (Free Gold Watch), and one in Alameda (Pacific Pinball Museum). I've a read about the apparently very-large Pinball Museum in Las Vegas.
There are emulated pinball machines too as well as arcades but they're not to
my taste, i like the mechanical aspect of it too much to use an emulator
I looked into getting a Pinball machine a few years ago. They're not cheap! used one, that works, is around $5,000 US.
