Really digging how these are becoming popular. A touch of nostalgia for olds like me. Going to one tonight....plan on spending about $20 playing Robotron.

I've been to a couple, but I'm a 90s kid and I didn't see any Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat or NBA Jam.

1) Not to brag, but I bet I could beat Madmax's Dig Dug score.

2) There's Marvel vs Capcom 2 at the Cidercade in (I think) Irving.

3) Was able to play the Battletoads arcade at Pinballz in Austin. Probably the most defining arcade of my childhood. Blew my mind that you could decapitate a snake and watch his bloody neck flop about.

I rule in two games: Galaga and Joust. I can't be touched in those two.

Love that.....video games are great but.....add in a Black Knight 2000 pinball game and I'd spend about $25 there.

Makes this top 10 list of pinball machines at #5. but it was the first multi level pinball game and introduced the Magnetic save feature too. It was awesome and you could play it for hours if you got on a roll.


(black knight is about 5:14)





that and Missile Command with the giant spinner ball would occupy most of my time....or Defender or Qbert.

Press all the buttons at once on Stargate and it will give you a screen of hints and hacks to make the game easier.

Centipede - my original arcade love

Used to frequent Flashback Retropub when we lived in OKC. Games were all free but drink prices were elevated to cover that (token system they started out with was a disaster).

There is a place here in Minneapolis called Tilt that's a pinball arcade, can't wait to try that.

There's an arcade/bar in Arlington called Free Play. You pay $10 and have free access to all arcades and pinball machines the entire day. They play 80s tunes all day, food is good, and they have a drink holder next to every game. Over 100 different classic arcades.

I need to check one of these out. I wasn't really old enough for any Tron-style arcades way back when.
