We had another great turnout for last week’s Olympic challenge, and hopefully, we can keep the momentum going this week. This week’s challenge to the Pop Culture League is…
First Quarter
What’s your earliest arcade or video game memory?
Extra credit: Comments on a blog post are validation to a blogger that his or her work was actually read and appreciated by others. I challenge you to leave some comments on your fellow League members’ articles this week — everybody loves comments!
The League is always open to new members! Got a blog? Write a post in response to the weekly challenge, and you’ll be included. It’s that easy!
Once you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote, or you can also link to them on social media.
By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!
(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for contributing to The League.)
Space Invaders!

How many of you remember judging how good a restaurant was by how many arcade machines were parked back by the restrooms and not by the quality of food they served?.
