<div style="font-size: 12px; margin: 3px 0px;"><span>1980's Classic Arcade Games at Cedar Point Amusement Park. Sandusky, Ohio. In the Coliseum Main Arcade. Park hours of operation & info can be found at http://www.cedarpoint.com
Video includes DONKEY KONG, SPACE INVADERS, GALAXIAN (the colors are wrong because a CRT gun is shot but it's the Midway version which I prefer playing over Namco), GALAGA, FROGGER (with the top and bottom overscanned which they've since fixed), CENTIPEDE x2 (one with black tape on the trackball), MS. PAC-MAN x2 (one with a bad controller and loud sound), PAC-MAN x2 (one with a warped image, the other with a bad CRT gun), ZAXXON (with a regular Nintendo ball top joystick in place of the flight stick but works fine), WIZARD OF WOR, GORF, BERZERK (the joystick's left direction control doesn't work they may have fixed it), WILLIAM'S DEFENDER, ROBOTRON 2084 (non-working but it does now), and ASTEROIDS DELUXE. Video May 14, 2007.
Time code for games appearing in this video:
DONKEY KONG 0:00 min
(Update: I asked them to fix the Nintendo joystick recently and Josh, the maintainence man who is also a collector replaced it with a brand new joystick! My best score on that machine is 165,400 points Level 6-4 (97,500 Lvl 5-1 on first man).
SPACE INVADERS 0:51 min

BERZERK 6:45 min
DEFENDER 7:30 min
ROBOTRON 2084 CABINET 8:38 min
ASTEROIDS DELUXE 8:42 min
Update for the 2008 season: They added Atari's GAUNTLET. One Pac-Man machine doesn't work, and the colors on the other's monitor are messed up but it plays fine, one of the Ms. Pac-Man's has a bad controller, and Robotron 2084 works again.
I'm glad Cedar Point has an extensive collection all in one place despite the fact the lighting is not dark, some games don't work and the sound is turned down. This is more than most could ask for. The large space and positioning allows one to admire the cabinet art. They also have a number of pinball games on the back wall.

<br></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; margin: 3px 0px;"><span>Music from Australia and New Zealand in the year 1978:
In 1978, a 50's-revival musical titled 'Grease' was made into a movie and consequently became a world-wide phenomenon. Australian pop show Countdown got caught up in the wave and went through extraordinary lengths to promote the movie to an Aussie audience. Countdown was also the first television program to play the 'You're The One I Want' segment, during the early course of the movie's success.
This feature includes red carpet interviews with Aussies Olivia Newton-John, Andy Gibb and the movie's producer and entertainment entrepreneur Robert Stigwood.
This piece also includes a short interview with Australian songwriter John Farrar - the composer of Olivia's bigger hits including 'You're The One I Want' and 'Hopelessly Devoted To You'.

In 1978, a 50's-revival musical titled 'Grease' was made into a movie and consequently became a world-wide phenomenon. Australian pop show Countdown got caught up in the wave and went through extraordinary lengths to promote the movie to an Aussie audience. Countdown was also the first television program to play the 'You're The One I Want' segment, during the early course of the movie's success.
This feature includes red carpet interviews with Aussies Olivia Newton-John, Andy Gibb and the movie's producer and entertainment entrepreneur Robert Stigwood.
This piece also includes a short interview with Australian songwriter John Farrar - the composer of Olivia's bigger hits including 'You're The One I Want' and 'Hopelessly Devoted To You'.
