If you can't make it to PAPA this year:

The arcade has now moved the pinballs out of the "back area" and into the expansion building next door to them. I will be there to manage the games from 3 - 11PM on the 13th. Ken Walker of "Big Juicy Mellons" fame will be there some of that time. Stop on by. The games are Gorgar, Black Knight, Millionair, Fun House and a nice Twilight Zone.

Never heard of that place but it looks amazing. I hope to get up to illinois soon.

Keep in mind that Brixies is 2 blocks away from the Ghost. They have a TRON LE and a CFTBL on route plus a bunch of micro brews on tap.

Brixies is a great place if you enjoy Micro-Brews....
The Galloping Ghost Arcade is now on my to-do list.
Thanks,

Wrestlefest in an Asteroids cab? The *horror*.... :hissy:

There's a couple of abominations, but Doc's done a lot of awesome work keeping the classics alive there. I've done some work for him, great bunch of folks at Galloping Ghost. If I wasn't headed to Chicago Comic-Con, I'd head back up to check it out. Haven't been by in about a month and a half.

Yeah, Doc has a ton of conversions there (I'm guessing he bought most of them that way). I know there's at least 4 or 5 Tempest cabs, only one of which actually has Tempest in it ;) It's an awesome place and if you get bored while you're there, you don't like video games very much ;D I'm hoping to be there Saturday and into Sunday (don't know how late I'll stay)

let me just chime in and say this place rocks, its local to me so i try to go as often as possible (which isnt nearly enough) if i have any free time this weekend i will be going by to show my support!
