 More like table top arcade game. Watching TronicsFix fix a Donkey Kong Jr table top game to working order (he actually fixed it and played it to make sure it worked), it reminded me of when I had Mario's Cement Factory. Loved playing with it. May have driven mom nuts some days. Even brought it camping. Here is Mario's Cement Factory.

 Here is a scorecard from the 1909 world series. It was 10¢. Pittsburgh was spelt without the H and the word baseball was seperate (base ball). Pittsburgh beat Detroit in 7 games, led by Honus Wagner.
