  • I want my own arcade controls!
i've lived in texas all of my life, so i've made a few trips to houston here and there for various things

basically, the main things i need to know is where to find a good arcade to squeeze out a few quick games (i know that there is one by old town spring, only a few minutes away from me, but i heard that it only has a few games) and i need to find a place that sells classic games (nes, snes, saturn and the like)

tornado terry's in keller is awesome, there has to be something like that here in houston (he's a member of this board too)

houston is huge, i knew it was big, but once you add in all of the "small" neighboring cities, it is at an unmanagable level

that's why i need the help

Well, there's the dollar movie theater (actually a $1.50 movie theater) which has quite a few games as well as a couple of pinball machines, which is at 1960 and Steubner Airline.

There's also a go-kart place with a lot of machines (some classics such as Defender, Centipede, etc.) which is located on Hwy 249 close to the intersection of Hwy 249 and Interstate 45.

There's also your usual Dave & Busters, Laser Quest, Mountasia, etc.

Dunno about classic console games.

HTH,

yeah, dave and buster's is pretty sweet
it would be 10x better if they inforced the "no kid left unattended" rule
it's a freaking bar and people take their kid's there and let them run around
i'm all for family fun, but that's why they have chuck e cheese
...sorry

i'm also going to try out incredible pizza, it's supposed to be pretty cool
