They used to have one at the Safeway on 48th St. and Indian School.  That thing got lots of quarters out of me.

I'm in AZ now, but I grew up on the east coast.

I used to play Rastan on the SMS.

Justin, did you ever go play games at Tower Plaza?

Ginsu Victim:
My brother and I used to walk down to the corner gas station and play Rastan all the time. It definitely has sentimental value for me as well, and it's way better than Rygar.

Just curious why you think so? I've never played an 80's scrolling platform action game with better controls than Rygar. On the other end of that spectrum, I haven't played many 80's scrolling platform action games with worse controls than Rastan. Also, life bars are IMHO never a good gameplay design. Did you never die the frustrating death in Rastan where something just by standing close to you eats up your life bar? In Rygar, you can survive the most intense stuff by jumping/fighting if you have the skill to pull it off. In Rastan there are no intense stuff. I bought my Rastan PCB pretty cheap, played it a couple of times then out of frustration with all the gameplay flaws put it up for sale for a high price (as it had some sentimental value still) and was surprised when a guy emailed me and wanted it.

Rygar is fun EVERY credit I play.

Absolutely!  There was also an arcade in the abortive Scottsdale Esplanade for awhile.  I think it was called Aladdin's something or another.
