There's a really great arcade about 15 minutes from my house. This place is huge. They've also got laser tag, mini-golf, billairds, bumper cards, and a small food court that sells stuff like burgers, hot dogs, popcorn, and pizza. The actual arcade is great, but I haven't been there in a long time. Last time I considered going was around the time that F-Zero AX was making it's run in the arcades, so that was quite a while ago! Now that the weather's nice and the floors won't be so muddy though, I think I might go again. It's a really cool place.

That sounds like the Family Fun Center in Omaha. It has alot of "older" games on the second level that always seem to have someone on them whenever I'm there. They must still be making a little $$ or they would yank them out. I have to give the owners credit for trying new things to keep the business open. They have an area with about 12 PC's in it for the online junkies as well. Pretty cool. Tho I wish they would yank those damn "claw/crank" machines with the cheap toys in them. They are a total rip-off. I try to discourage my boys from playing them. I can't see myself liking them if they were around when I was that age....

Theres an arcade here too.  The tokens are pretty expensive because it takes 3+ to play a game.  Any type of golf takes 1 coin/hole, so theres 18!  Also, they have NO classic games.  It's all about getting tickets at this one.  They have machines that you shoot your token into and try to win more tokens.  I wasnt impressed but I still go there.

Heres a rundown of the arcade I was at...
 Right when you walk in facing you there was a dual sitdown, need for speed underground. There was then an isle to the left with these games...Dungeons and Dragons, Trog, NBA Hangtime, Metal Slug, and WWF Wrestlemania, on the other side of the isle there were 2 poker machines, these 2 pinball baseball arcade machines, and I think some kinda cocktail table. There was then an isle to the right that had these games on Big screen TV's...Street Fighter Alpha 3, Virtua Cop 2, Capcom vs. SNK 2. Then further down that isle we had some more normal arcade machines.. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Tekken 4, Tekken Tag Tournament, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Killer Instinct, X Men children of the atom (there used to be a MOONWALKER in this isle, but of coursee...its gone now). There was then a little pit beyond three stairs that had alot of basketball shooting games and driving games. They had a dual Outrun 2, Dual Cruisin World, A Crazy Taxi, and some OffRoad Machines. In the back they had some dance dance Revolution Machines, a MAdden NFL Machine. This 3 monitor game, I think it was called Grid Iron, a 33 inch NFL BLitz 2000 Gold, a Crisis Zone, I then think there were some more big screen shooting games. There was also and Austin Powers Games...some colorama games, and those games where you try to stop the light to win the prize. Thats all I can rememeber, I may be missing some, but it was awesome having some of those older 90s games in there with the new ones. It was Great. I love the loud sound of all the different machines blending together. Just wanted to share my expereience.
