Opening up arcade? Ideas?
<< < (3/12) > >>
Thenasty:
had the same Idea but drop it cause, did a little re-search to why some of the places here just went belly up. I've seen 3 places shut down and there is one barely hanging in there. I bet if the ownere did not own that peice of property (if his renting it) it would have closed too. I did hear that it was going to close but at this point its still there making around $150.00 a week. Good luck in your adventures.

This is from a 14 yr. olds point of view... You need a game called "Dance Dance Revolution" made by Konami. It is what ppl here love to play and will dump tokens into, Also we have a place called Galactic Hurricane and it is an outer space-ish theme and im guessin what is holding it around is Lazer Tag. but Pool, Air-Hocky, and prize/ticket games are a MUST but this is just the help from a 14 yr. old that goes to the arcades alot.

This may be the worng place to post such a question because most of the people in here would love to have an arcade opened up. The question is, how many people of the public are going to be as keen as we are? With pc's, consoles, and piracy, your percentages are slimming . Just my 2c.

In the Philadelphia area I would call Todd at TNT amusements. I konw he rents/loans out machines. He would be able to give you an idea about how much the game expenses would be.

Good Luck...

First off let me start by saying that it sounds like a good idea. But just consider everything before you go ahead. The people on these boards make alot of sense. I live in LA and in the area where I live there used to be about six arcades when I moved here. Now there is only one and barely. Someone tried that whole idea youre thinking of and it failed. They had $5 days when you could pay $5 and get in, and all the machines were on free play. Even that didnt work and this place was right in front of a mall and close to a school.
