Galloping Ghost Arcade review
Well Fed Games:
Rigby's summary is right on. The wife and I go a couple of times a year and have a great time. A surprising amount of "easy fixes" (controls not controlling, jamma switchers not switching, bezels not bezeling) going unfixed though.

Do the dustwashers at least dustwash?
WindDrake:
I live about an hour from GG, and I'll concur on this.. Mostly.
The owner, Doc Mack, actually cares a great deal about the games, but I think his Fightning-Game-in-Development sucks up most of his time.
I also noticed he's mostly hired what appears to be locals or his friends, which tend to make poor workers.
I've done a few shifts of repair work for Doc before, and it's always a scary triage. Trying to chest-paddle a downed Williams, bring back sound on the TMNT, or unplug that K7000 before it's flyback starts the cab on fire.
They need a full-time repair guy, badly.
Rigby:
There are a lot of very good fighting games, and the genre still gets fresh titles regularly. Why is ... nevermind. Follow your dreams, Doc; just don't forget about what's already in place and generating income for you, first.
Day-to-day operation of existing business comes higher on the priority list than investments in new business.

A full-time repair guy would have about 6 months of work on his hands, even if he had every part required on-hand when it was needed, and didn't need to order anything, and that's just monitor repair.
