Arcades that are still around

Wow... Castles and Coasters... It's fair to say that, with the architecture and the arcade contents there in, it could easily become our collective Mecca.

As for Geneva on the Lake, I didn't go photo crazy as I was out with the GF. We only went this arcade as it was the last of them on the strip not go 90% redemption games.


Last night I went to BLIPSY BARCADE in Los Angeles. Accroding to about.com "It's a small operation started out by a group of friends who collected classic arcade games and would invite friends over for regular parties of drinking and gaming." (Sound like anyone we know?) "Eventually the parties became so successful that they decided to go into business and open an arcade bar, selling beer, wine and sake."

If I won the lottery I'd do the same thing only 10fold and hire as many of you talented and willing folks as I could. (Ah, things I dream about while at work)

The machines are all original, dedicated, and in poor to fair condition. Ms. Pacman (cocktail), Double Dragon, 720, Gun Fight, Robotron, Defender, Track and Field (buttons), Punch-out, Paperboy, Rampage, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Spy Hunter (sit down), Centipede, and Asteroids. Pinball had Twilight Zone (lights hardly worked), and Playboy (1974)

I did discover playing the arcade Double Dragon that my emulated version of it is way too slow. The place is in a corner of Korea town accross the street from the largest KFC I've ever seen.

Whats up with these yuppy bars that are popping up all over with "retro" arcades in them?

Great classic arcade - Fun Spot in New Hampshire. I love it and go every year

The handle on the Tron in this picture is broken. It bugs me because I'm pretty sure I know how to fix it.  :laugh:

Yeah, but it's closer to me than Castles 'N Coasters. They have Japanese cabinets last time I went there (last month), it's really different now compared to the last couple of years I went there.

Hmm... now I really want to go.  Maybe I'll see if I can get free this weekend.
