This "Driver's Test" is an old arcade game at Canobie Lake Park. It's an actual sit-down electromechanical driving simulator. You may remember the old Tomy handheld "Digital Derby" game; this is a life-sized version of it, more or less. The road is a large painted drum while the little red car is real and controlled by your steering wheel. There's contacts on the inside of the drum that signify the other vehicles and the side of the road. Your goal, of course, is to drive safely, stay on the road, and avoid all obstacles. If you do not, a little red light on the console lights up. Just like in real life.

An old Popeye table arcade machine that is in really really good condition.

Wow "tastes" have really changed !!

Turtles in Time. Somehow I don't think that is the official marquee for this game.

...and the machine said I was Hot Stuff. Sounds like it's calibrated just fine :)

The Galaga game my parent's love but swore they didn't have. Low and behold they got into their second storage unit again and there it was! :) I just said "I told you so!"
