Arcades!

Post by tcpballa93 »

So, what are some good arcades in your respective areas? I got the urge to play arcade games again after playing metal slug X and bust a move last week. Our arcade went out a bit ago, so I kind of want to know how they are everywhere else.

Lucky! The closest things we have around here are the games at the movie theatre and the pizza shops. Also, there is one in east lansing called "pinball pete's" I haven't been there, I was too busy at the resale game/movie/record store, comic store, and vintage clothes store, but it looks decent. Also, marvel VS. Capcom 2 is such a damn fine game, couldn't tell you how much money I put in that machine. :)

Cool! Pinball Pete's is a chain, then. There's one in Ann Arbor.

The closest thing I have is a Pizza Shop, but they have at least 8 machines, one of those being The Simpsons. So I'm set.
