WAHA!! The last arcade in Austin is winning! Now if only it weren't next to a crackhouse and didn't make me use $1 tokens for EVERY game 

And too bad Stride requires that I divulge so much personal info to donate my points... Think I'll just go pump in some quarters instead...

I didn't think it was so bad... email, "name" and a "birthdate".

Personally I voted for the one whose website brought
back the most memories of what it was like as a kid...
the one in the mall.  Looked like it was a pretty good
sized one in that mall too.

I just think it's cool that no matter who wins, at least one
arcade will get the $25k.

When I tried to register it had asterisks next to Home Address, Daytime and Evening phone numbers, and a few other things I avoid giving out to random sites.... Maybe I was in the wrong spot.

If only they did this years ago when Playland in State College was forced to close do to poor business.

Vote for Game Galaxy!  Those other arcades are mostly for newer games.  If you want to vote for the arcade that is most dear to us vote for Jason Wilson's arcade in Nashville, TN.  He has just about every classic in there plus a lot more.

I definitely did not get this 3rd degree...
Try playing the game before you register, then after you finish, register
to allocate your points... that's how I did it...

That's exactly what I did. Finished the game and went to donate, said I had to register, clicked on Register and it required all that jazz....

Disregard that, I see now that they have 2 separate Registration pages, one for the game and one for Stride itself...

Star Worlds has quite a few classics, DK, DK Jr, Burgertime, Ms Pac, Pac-man (actually Hangly-man), a couple of Bally Sente's, Kangaroo, Baby Pac-Man, Vanguard, Zaxxon, and Scramble. He does have some newer stuff too, but that's a pretty good list of classics
