I went to Gameworks for the first time last weekend.  Had a blast.  Arcades may be disappearing, but I gotta admit, that was about as much fun as I've ever had at one.  I know that a lot of people are against these ginormous novelty games, but I think they're great, especially the games in the racing section. 

ChadTower:

Is that like a Dave & Buster's?

Yeah, we have one here in Phoenix (Tempe, really).  Two stories, bar & grill, lots of games - mostly new games and redemptions, but they have some old classics and some pins, too.

ChadTower:

Sounds a little more useful than Dave & Buster's, then.  D&B has no classics beyond the usual Galaga/Ms Pac and no pins.

Gameworks is much better than Dave and Busters as far as our interests would go.

Last time I went to the one in Dallas we talked with the manager for a good 15 minutes about the state of arcades and more pointedly, at the absence of fighting games in D&B and the like.

He also said that Spielberg apparently was a founding member of gameworks in the 80's, but ended up having to sell his share due to pressure from crazy moms who though video games to be the work of the devil.

Anyway it seems all the Gameworks people still are really fond of Spielberg for helping start it out, which was interesting to me, for I didnt know he had such an impact on the industry.
