Arcade games in interesting places?

Back in the 1980s, arcade games were everywhere: bars, convenience stores, bowling alleys, restaurants, amusement parks, college dorms, laundromats, grocery stores, hotel lobbies, ferry boats…

I experienced many of these firsthand, but it got me thinking: What are some other interesting places that arcade games showed up? Stadiums/arenas, airports, zoos, office buildings, hot air balloons, ski lodges, marinas, high schools…? For some reason, this idea is fascinating to me, so I’d love to hear your stories. Bonus points for pictures!

Jack Davis artwork spotted at the Texas Science & Natural History Museum

I was at the Texas Science & Natural History Museum (on the campus of UT-Austin) today with my son when I noticed that some artwork in a temporary exhibit (Masters of the Night: The True Story of Bats) had a familiar style. Sure enough, these beautiful pieces were indeed the work of Jack Davis himself.

Masters of the Night is a traveling exhibition leased out by a San Antonio-based company called Evergreen Exhibitions. They seem to create exhibitions for museums and science centers, and this one has been featured across the country, though it’s unclear when and where it debuted.

My 4-year-old son, who loves bats, absolutely loved this exhibit, and it seemed to be very positively received while we were there, thanks in no small part to Mr. Davis’ delightful artwork.
