This arcade at santa cruz beach boardwalk seems pretty good,usually a vacationing spot obviously.

We've got quite a few places to play arcade games around here.

This one mainly specializes in PC networking but I think they moved to a larger location to house some arcade games.

Plus we have two bowling alleys full of games,a funworks,a boomers,various pizza places with different games in each of them.

I just discovered this place.

All the arcades near me are pure shit since the local SEGA Park closed down - the only remotely retro game i've found is an ancient knackered SFII machine in one of the arcades along Southend seafront, all the best games i've found have been outside of arcades - like a random pool house I used to frequent when I was meant to be in college, they had a battered old Dark Stalkers machine, and even more randomly I found a Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact machine in some bar in a pissy little French town, also a hotel I was staying at in Majorca had a Metal Slug cabinet :)

don't be too discourage, we will see more beat'em up games some day. Since Capcom are on the roll with there remakes on there classics, I think they should do Final Fight with all new HD enhanced graphics (like SSF2T) and maybe add some new features like 3 player mode (play as Haggar, Cody, and Guy at the same time), or just make a whole new game.

Yes, the service definitely needs 3-player Final Fight! And 4-player Captain Commando, Alien vs. Predator and 6-player X-men!!! The X-men would work extremely well in widescreen!
