[game_preservation] 1Up on Michael Jackson

[Devin Monnens]

1Up posted Jeremy Parish's follow-up article to their article on Michael
Jackson, this time discussing the ephemeral, immaterial aspects of his
influence on games (mainly, that his music played in the background of
arcades). I think we've discussed the sound and atmosphere of video arcades
before, just not in regards to specific music playing in the background.
Incidentally, the biggest thing I remember from growing up as a kid was the
arcade in the skating rink - and how I sucked at the games and a quarter was
worth a hell of a lot of money back then. This kind of material you can only
probably retain in photo documentation, perhaps in a book on adolescent
culture of the 80s and 90s.
