Who's the (un)lucky guy?

Was also thinking that for some time, like after Sg Idol she disappeared from public view 100%. Anyone know anything?

Fanta fruitade, it was called. Use to collect the bottlecaps as well, for playing vs other b/caps

Yokoso Yaohan (esp Plaza Sing & Thomson) Metro Oriental Emporium

Nam Sing - have to agree, give attitude even tho standard drop big time, far cry from Simon Rd days. Now macam assembly line hk mee.

bro, which stall at pek kio is this? Is it the one on the outer row (facing hdb shops) and they use pandan-looking plates?

Played all those and others (Scramble comes to mind) but they were all 20cents when I did - think they became 40cents later on when the games became a bit funkier too

Posters of a certain age will no doubt remember the video arcades all over the island in the 70s - seems they were phased out in the early 80s, but i might be wrong. Most games were just 20cents and the technology nothing like today's fancy Xbox/PS3/etc, but time (and money!) spent in an arcade...

Even better value for money were those Compendium of 8 games board game sets, usually had 4 x cardboard sheets with game printed on each side. Snake & Ladders, Ludo, Draughts (or "dum"), etc

Yep, No.1 was the must-have mag for those of us heavily into UK-based bands/music - Duran, Kajagoogoo, Thompson Twins, Depeche....Smash Hits came along later but No.1 was always No.1 :) Also, those $2 pirated cassette tapes, we couldn't afford the "proper" cassettes (they cost around $8-10 or...

Metro - really big-time in 70s and used to be everywhere, Golden Mile/Supreme House/Scotts, maybe even one at Marine Parade if I'm not wrong. Yaohan - aka Plaza Singapura (nothing like the horrific present version), back then it was every kid's favourite shopping centre coz they had arcade...

Yeah, turned into Balmoral Rd from Stevens Rd and went all the way through Chancery Lane until coming out at Thomson nr Novena. Used to take it for fun last time just to enjoy the leafy journey, but always confused it with CSS bus number 5

Capitol theatre, with the amazing zodiac dome which looked even more tokkong when viewed from circle seats. Pre-cineplex Lido cinema, and there was a kind of pathway at the back which led to Copper Kettle (I think that's the name) coffeehouse President & Hoover cinemas along Balestier Road...

I remember something called Royal Cola, are they the same drink?

70s used to have Wonderland amusement park, is now the open-air carpark near Indoor Stadium if i'm not mistaken. Ovaltine cup rides, first rollercoaster in S'pore, shooting gallery, etc

I'm guessing they meant to write a spore forming unicellular parasite but kena sabo by spellcheck, which changed it to singapore (sometimes abbrev = s'pore)
