Bigfoots arcade in ft. lauderdale florida was where I used to go.. Im sure they are closed down now but I found a bigfoots token on ebay.. I had to buy it. It sits on my MK2 arcade now.. memories

I worked at Space Plex on Long Island, NY.  It was a pretty cool arcade that became famous for the Katie Beers kidnapping.  I miss that place.
In my earlier years, I loved the arcade in the Emporia Carousel in Monterey, California.

Plus one on the skating rink and Tilt those were big parts of my childhood...

But I put a lot of quarters away at the local gas station that featured Ghosts N' Goblins and Golden Axe amongst various others through the years.

There was a small place in Carmel Indiana that had about 8 pinballs a Space invaders and a Night driver. I would spend all my time on Invaders and Spirit of 76 Pinball. Then it got to a point where you would walk in and a pin was gone and there would be a Galaxian or an Asteroids in it's place.It was a really great time and then 2 arcades opened up near by, Porky's and Jungle Jims. 3 arcades in easy bike/moped  distance. Porky's ended up being the place I liked the best they had all the latest and greatest machines,T shirts for hi scores ,You could smoke there and someone would get busted for drugs every now and then so of course my parents banned me from going there but that just fueled the fire.  >:D

Forgot about the skating places.  Skate Fantasy in Manchester, Ct. where I gut my teeth on Donky Kong.  They had Pacs and a couple of pins.  Probably 15 machines in all.

Skate Palace East in East Hartford is where I discovered Bubble Bobble. 

Then, there's where we used to ride BMX...Rt. 5 BMX in S. Windsor Ct.  Just a couple of machines, but the most important was Exitebike and  USA hockey.

Man, what fun.
