Ten Favorite Arcades in Metro Phoenix

[TacoTownCharlie]

I've been here for almost 8 years and I'm a little surprised that I did not know about all theses places.  Castles 'n' Coasters has really helped me appreciate pinball machines; I didn't play them that much back in the day but when I go to Castles 'n' Coasters now that is just about the only thing I play.  I like taking the kids to Golfland for Saturday morning Arcade Mania (all you can play for 3 hours).  I'll spend a good chunk of time with the Terminator Salvation game; my oldest likes H2Overdrive.  I feel like I've done my job as Retro Gamer dad when they recognize the classics and can make some top scores.  Usually the Frogger, Donkey Kong or Asteroids games get so little play that I have a chance at the top score.

Nice read. Thanks.

Pizza Mart looks great, and Golfland actually *has* some classics now. Unless something remarkable happened, though, the 'Star Wars' at C&C isn't worth spit, and the reviewer had no idea what they're talking about.

+1 on the Star Wars comment. I wish it were a true upright instead of that sit-down conversion.
