I haven't been to a real arcade since I was a Michigan State Student and freqented "pinball pete's" almost weekly to play MvC2, Capcom vs SNK2, SF:Third Strike, and Metal Slug 2..
Then I go to this bar/restaurant called The Mineshaft in Hartford, Wisconsin, with my girl and one of her friends. I heard the place was really cool, went in to check out the bar, but then my girlfriend tells me there's an arcade upstairs(cause she knows i love games), so I'm thinking, a few old ms.pac-man machines and junk.
Wow. Time Crisis 3. House of the Dead 3. Mo-Cap Boxing. A wall of full cockpit sega racers. Classic games. Ticket redemption games. And the game that turned me into an excited 7 year old seeing NBA Jam for the first time again.. F-Zero AX.
I was so impressed by this game, the cockpit moves along with the game and its even faster than the GC version.. It was $1.50 a play but I played twice. My girlfriend thought my excitement over this place was kinda funny, but she enjoyed the ticket redeption games even. I have to reccomend you check this place out if you live nearby, its one of the best arcades Ive seen in a long, long time, and I hope I see more arcades appear.
Are there still any good Arcades near you?
