Peter's favourite arcade game
We visited Musee Mecanique, a collection of old arcsade games from right back to the 1900's. This game was released back in 1983 and was based around the original Star Wars movie. You pilot Luke's X-wing fighter through several different levels....
Note from Elaine "blah blah blah!"

  1. Now i'm really worried about Star Trek. Pete thought Batman and Robin was a great film.

  2. Pete is that a little car or have you been eating a few to many burgers!!. Excellent pictures by the way Elaine, enjoying them very much. I guess the 'bum' shot was a self portrait
