Their old location was literally a 3 minute drive from my house. I would go to the showroom and play every Friday afternoon, occasionally taking my elder son and sometimes picking up some parts. It's now a 15 minute drive ... man, am I ever lazy! ::) |

It used to be nearly a 2 hour drive from my place to the nearest playdium, but i'd do it almost once a month. 25 ducks for unlimited game cards, 5pm till 1am. Pretty hard to beat that, and we put those suckers to good use, too! Unfortunately, West Edmonton Mall charges an arm and a leg for rental, so playdium moved out. Out of the province even. Then to top it off they shut down the BC location, too! FML. I've gotta drive to Ontario for 25$ all you can play arcade games... Pretty much the closest thing I have to an arcade around here is "Flippers" in the Calgary airport, consisting of 3 pins (Simpsons, Elvis?, and Family Guy), a redemption, and a handful uprights. Edmonton has 2 left in West Edmonton Mall, there's "Ed's", and one off of Galaxy Land, called Wizard's Castle. Both of those arcades are decent, but still a 2 hour drive... |

We have two arcades left in Vancouver...Movieland on Granville street in downtown Vancouver which has quite a few oldschool machines and one in Metrotown mall Burnaby with newer Japanese style machines. |
