If by quarters you mean midgets, i think this is the wrong forum for that.  ;D

SkateDetroit:
It's probably safe to say that Pinball Petes is the best arcade place left in Michigan, lest someone can prove otherwise? Heres some links to pictures and write ups about PBs. Deciede for yourself before you make the trip. It's a big place, and the games are always changed up.

The pictures are mainly of the DDR machines which is hardly everything in there. It's a decent place. You might want to check out Game Works in Great Lakes Crossing. I haven't been there personally but I hear it's a pretty cool place.

Yeah I am at the UofM. The best part about Pinball Pete's is that it is huge.  Yes they have a whole area devoted to the DDR games (I am not a big fan of those).  But they also have a section for older games and pinball machines.  They have tons of fighters, lightgun games and those new crummy gimmicky games.  Currently, I do not know of a better arcade.

Lilwolf:
Wow... pinball petes SUCKS

It was MUCH better as "Great Escape!"  <old school reference for any U of M / Ann Arborites out there>
