Arcade in Richmond, Virginia

[BurgerKingDiamond]

I was hanging out with some friends in Richmond last weekend and I saw this little place called STRANGE MATTER. It's a Bar/Restaurant/Arcade. It was awesome. Most of the games work, I didn't try them all, but I did lose 1 quarter on a game that didn't work. But the good thing is that all the games are only a quarter. This is not a Dave and Busters. If you know anything about Richmond, you'll probably know what to expect. The place is kind of a dive, with a lot of hipsters covered in tattoos and what not, but the food was good. I had a Monte Cristo and a PBR.

If you live in, or anywhere near Richmond, VA you need to go check this place out. Go get a few beers, a nice meal and play some games.

BTW, I took some pics with my camera phone. I'll post them up later. The list of games on the website is mosly correct, but it's missing a few games. The only one I can think of right now that isn't on the list is a pretty nice condition TAPPER. There's also a Ninja Gaiden upright that I was drooling over. I didn't even know they existed, but I'm a huge fan of the series for the NES. If I was more outgoing I would have really tried to talk the owner into selling it to me. It doesn' even have the NG board in it though. It's like a NEO GEO 100 in 1 board, that took my quarter.

I have heard of it. I play RVA at least a few times a year, usually just as a fill in date on a tour. RVA is hit or miss, and 9 out of 10 times its a miss, its going the way of Detroit imho. I remember talking to someone who books for them and we turned them down because they couldnt offer us much pay wise, but if I get a chance to book with them or to even stop by, I def will.

I play RVA...

That isn't in this list, which is by no means complete, because it doesn't have this, which is only half-way down the google results page.

RVA = Richmond Virginia  Thats what the locals call it.
