Went out for lunch today at a pizza shop near my work. I sorta know the guy that owns/operates the joint and so I told him "hey, you should get some arcade games up in here"
...and he says: 'well just look around the corner!"
To my delight, he had 4 games!
Bad Dudes
Operation Wolf
Area 51
Popeye

The Popeye caught my eye of course.

It was an original machine and pretty much legit everywhere. The screen was even a CRT! (It needed some adjustment)

Even had the correct Nintendo buttons.

The cab was in pretty good shape but had a lame paint job on it. The only thing that I could see obviously wrong with it was the t-molding being 1/2 inch.

He had an agreement with the arcade guy to split the revenue. Pretty good deal for a few square feet of space in his pizza shop.
Warms my heart to see old games pop up like this.

I would have dropped some coin in that Operation Wolf for nostalgia's sake.

Correct t-molding for Nintendo games hasn't always been available, that one probably got fixed up when it wasn't available.
Also, that Popeye should probably be a Ms. Pac/Galaga combo.

Never liked Popeye? Or just think a Ms Pac/Galaga combo would fit better in that lineup?

would make him more money....so #2 from my pov ;)
Sweet though....the only place in my town with any arcade games is a Laundromat attached to a gas station. Not my idea of a hang out. Plus I don't think my wife would be thrilled :D

You can't really find Popeye cabs in the wild these days, so I'd drop a quarter or two in it.
Ms Pac/Galaga is everywhere....it's overkill at this point. (Even though I love those games)

Ms Pac/Galaga would earn more money.
