That's an awesome concept. Hell, throw in some pool tables and add go-karts and a laser tag area and you could easily make serious bank.
I have a friend who bought an arcade Ms Pacman years ago off of Ebay. Its the one that's like a table with the screen as the table top.. And he has a pinball machine he has had for awhile, but is having trouble finding a circuit board for it.. Now I feel like playing some old video games..
Do yall know in November, Nintendo is coming out with a console that is pretty much the original Nintendo, but its all digital and there is no cartridge. I think there will be 30 games in the console. All 3 marios, Tecmo Bowl, Punch Out (its no longer Mike Tyson's punch out), excitebike, etc.

Yea, but you can't add any additional games to that console, and you cannot use original catridges with it either. I think for the nostalgia factor it will be fun, but it's not something I would purchase.

I actually took the kid there when we realized that the union arcade no longer existed. It's a great place for adults and kids alike, and any website would be lucky to have them as a sponsor.

Joystick looks awesome, but I am about 2 hours from that place. I'd might as well go to Dave & Busters if I am making that kind of a trip. Good looking out though!

I understand consoles have become the new norm, but there was something fun about walking into an arcade and throwing down on the joysticks in NFL Blitz, Tekken, Marvel vs Capcom

want to go to there. That's brilliant
Apparently it's a businessman that started collecting old arcade games and restoring them. He accumulated hundreds of them and figured he'd open an arcade. All of them are not on the floor, but he switches them out frequently.
I love the no one under 21 after 9pm part. It's been very popular. They rent it out for private parties too. He just opened a 2nd location in Arlington.

We have an arcade two blocks from us in the boardwalk, Silverball Museum. Pay one price and play whatever you want. Tons of pinballs machines from the 40s to the 90s, old school arcade games, shooting games, air hockey, bubble hockey, skee ball.

Tampa has a place called Barcade. Old school arcade games and a craft brewery combined. Games still a quarter.
