Yesterday my family and I went into the city (Melbourne) while there we went to Galactic Circus, basically a huge arcade, who just happen to own the Terminator Stop-Motion prop from T2 (I know right? In a glass case and all), but while walking around with my brother he started playing a game the top of the machine read "Hammer Champion" and the game was played with four large pads, similar to those on a 'Test your strenght' machine.

While watching him wacking crocodiles on the head the game started to seem familiar, but when I decided to help by hitting the buttons with my hands (A bit painful mind you ) the memory was much stronger and after having two rounds on my own, along with sore arms we had to go. I later found out that I was remembering the game because it used to be at an arcade that used to be up the road at my local shopping centre.

Has anybody else had similar experiences?

PS: This is probably what made me want to return to Atari Age again, after 'returning' last year.

i hear game sounds sometimes - usually in tv shows or commercials as generic "videogame sound effects" - i have to stop whatever i'm doing until i can identify the game the sound originally game from.

one time i stood frozen for a good 10 minutes until i realized the sound i heard was the jump effect from Keystone Kapers
