The "game name"


Recommended Posts

 

And... to offer the younger generation on this thread a certain perspective on how important that early arcade business was for a short period of time, our grocery store in a little podunk town in Ohio installed an arcade of about 8 or 10 games, replacing their "wine & spirits" store that adjoined the backside of the building. The grocery store was called Porky Pig, with the actual cartoon character on the sign, and the "new" arcade in the previous booze-only store was called The Cosmic Pig.

 

Are you sure it wasn't Piggly Wiggly?

Congratulations, Retrogamer81081!!! Great job. :)

 

That was a real fun game. I noticed I stopped posting as much into the song game, preferring this one. We should do it again someday, or maybe with another challenging twist.

 

Thanks for starting this game, Intellivotion! :)

There were some Piggly Wiggly's in southern Ohio, but no. Ours was definitely Porky Pig. I wonder if anyone has a picture. I'll scour the historical facebook page - but it's hard to find anything besides corny memes.
