I thought it would be fun to make a thread about our hometown arcades so here it goes.

This is the mall wherein the arcade lies. It was raining so I took the picture from inside the car.



Here is the third title for the arcade's third location. Originally it was called Blazing Flippers, and when it moved for the first time it was redubbed Pocket Change.



Here is where I spend most of my time:


Here is my second favorite machine:


The right side of the arcade:


And some of the left:


I would have gotten the rest of the left side and the pool tables in the back, but there was an unnusually large amount of children in the arcade today, and the security guard was giving me the third degree.

My arcade wasn't always like this. I cut my teeth on Captain Commando and learned the art of fighting on Marvel vs. Capcom. We even used to have several Tekkens, but not any more, as you can see.

Oh God, I miss Gauntlet Legends.

I forgot about the machines in the local Walmart. By some strange miracle, we have TWO Star Wars Trilogy Arcade machines.

Do you know if they are going to reopen your arcade with all the same machines, or what?

The second link is broken. I'll read through that first one tomorrow. This time of night is far past the long retrospective arcade article reading time of night.

I remember this one time I want to say 7 years ago (but I am not sure), back when we still had Gauntlet Legends, I played for something like two or three hours with a guy who worked at the arcade, so he just kept opening up the machine and hitting the switch to give us more lives whenever we died. My Minotaur became EPIC that day.
