It's a great chance for pool to recapture peoples' imaginations.
There is a great Renaissance of 1980's hobbies going on right now.
- Thread starter 9 Ball Fan
- Start date
I have been saying this for a while. There are bars with ping pong tables, retro pinball machines, 80's video games, jenga and traditional board games. Skee ball and bowling is starting to show up more places again too. Turn off the devices and have some traditional fun with "active" games.

I'm waitin' for Lawn Darts to come roaring back.Seriously, don't hold your breath for some big pool flashback. This story has a bad habit of repeating itself.
Yall can believe this or not, but I have recently gotten a classroom full of high school students completely and hopelessly addicted to...wait for it. . the Oregon Trail computer game. Its awesome!
I bet. Another computer game. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
This is true. In addition to a Brunswick GC III, I have one of these bad boys in the waiting room of our office suite.
The patients & their family members love it. It has cut down on missed visits and appointment tardiness.
Of course the staff are all behind in their paperwork like never before, so there's that.
And yes, I have it set on "free-play" mode.
I don't see us stepping it up to Lawn Darts though...1 volatile family session and there could be blood on the walls...and even worse, the Simonis.

Omg that was the greatest game ever invented. That, Yukon trail, and Where in the **** is Carmen Sandiego have shaped my entire existence. Probably.
If this is even remotely true then you REALLY need to get out some.
Your gonna need a Color of Money type of event. I just don't think soft liberal Hollywood can get a pool movie right enough for the true fan.
Allegedly, there's been a movie about the life of Ralph Greenleaf sitting in the can, ready to go since the mid 1990's.

I may have overstated their significance in some small way lol. They do remind me of like 2nd grade computer class though, a simpler time in my life.
I never have seen lawn darts but it sounds cool, I’ll have to check it out.
These guys started out with one place and now have three:
