Title: Y'ever been to an arcade drunk?
Post by: RayB on March 03, 2005, 06:24:58 pm
Back in the day, the arcades of Montreal would stay open as late as 1 or 2am. Usually we'd hit the arcades after eating, and before hitting the bars/clubs. But at least a couple times we went to the arcades after getting plastered at the bars. All I can remember is that I was really lousy at playing games in that condition!

No Gameworks in Sconie?  Head over to Minneapolis (if its close).  There's a whole bar/arcade that's open until 2am.  I *think* they are still in business, they had some troubles but started allowing bodyshots off the bar and things picked up.

Y'ever been to an arcade drunk? 


I think I've been drunk at least once at most of the places I've ever been.

When in my teens I used to drink IN arcades.  Then again, our arcades were also the best place to score pot, pills, and oddly enough steroids.

A group of teenagers... drunk... stoned... on pain pills... pumped up on steroids...
I'd hate to be the one fixing those machines ;)

Not pain pills... speeeeeeeed... I was never a drug kid, but I did a hella lot of drinking in those days.  Spy Hunter will never be half as much sober as drunk.

Never a dedicated arcade, but my very first time drunk (in the 8th grade) my best friend and I tried to steal a machine from the local bowling alley's arcade.

We had it almost outside before someone noticed us and we ran off.   :o

They chained all the games together after that.  :P

IIRC it was an Omega Fighters Special, and it was really kinda light... it moved around alot when you played it.

I've played Daytona and Galaga a few time at a pub after a few drinks. Sufficed to say, I should have played Daytona with auto transmission selected.  :P

Galaga was no better.

When I was stationed in Japan they had vending machines that sold 2 and 3 liter beers so I spend quite a bit of time at the arcades with my 3 liters..............

How could you get a 3 liter out of the machine?  Three liters of liquid weighs like 6lb!

here's what a typical beer machine looked like:

this one had only up to 2 liters:

I was trying to fin a pic of an Asahi beer vending machine.... I know it had three liter beers...they were made of some kind of insulated aluminum that kept it cold longer than normal cans...

Sure. When I turned 21, larger bars had large arcades (Mall of America, Mississippi Live) and I would drink and play Street Fighter II Turbo while my girlfriend and her friends partied.

Not exactly something I want written on my tombstone.
