Its an arcade where you pay admission and all the games are a nickel... that's my take on it anyway.

At my local nickel city the classics are free.

$3 admission and a nickel per game is the standard including redemption games. The kids love it. Most of the games though are clunkers with mismatched joys in non dedicated cabs.

... but when you were 10, did you care if it was converted or mismatched as long as it worked?

ok i'm back from nickel city and...

no i didn't spend $40 dollars

i had forgotten how much nickels i could get for 5 bucks and it lasted me 3 hours! and that's enought...

my favorite game there has to be ummm damn it i forgot the name but in it, there are bubbles hopping around and you have to shoot up to hit it.
it works almost like asteroids, you shoot the bubble and it breaks into 2 smaller bubbles and then shoot it again and breaks into even smaller bubble and you shoot it again and it disappers.

anybody know the game? sorry if you need to know more let me know.
