Video arcades - Coin op machines

[Arthur Dent]

Since I can't play any computer or PS2 games right now, I've gone to the local video arcades a few times to fill my need for video games.

Anybody else go to an arcade? What's your favorite games?

I either play the pinball machines or the shooting games with the plastic guns.

Silent Scope EX rocks. Got the big scope with a TV screen inside like you were really looking throught a scope. And you have to look up at the big screen to find your next target.

Also Houses of the Dead II is pretty cool.

uaually, if i have someone else with me, i'll play a gun game, or some guantlet.alone, i tend to play star wars arcade and shitloads of pinball, plus whatever other games look good

[crx girl]

i like Area 51, its lotsa fun alone or with a friend.

if im with a friend we will usually play a few games of laser tag (cuz there is a pretty sweet q-zar arena at my local arcade)

Dude, I laughed my ass off when I saw this one kid doing hand-stands and shit playing that game.

I don't waste my money on stuff like Tekken Tag or Streetfighter vs. Marvel or any of that stuff. If I want to play that type of game I'll get it for a console or PC.

Don't know if it's in the US arcades, but they've got this game over here that uses a motion sensor system to tell where you are. It's a cop shooting game where you have to physically duck or dodge left and right when the bad guys shoot at you. Looks like fun, but people just look stupid playing it.

I used to rule at Galaga and Tempest :thumbs-up: Zaxxon was fun for blowing shit up in 3-D compared to that lame ass piece of shit Missile Command

Arcades in the UK are over 18 because they also have slot machines.:firebounce:

[Skitchr4u]

Yes, but here, arcades are all ages and have the "little shaking car" rides in them. That makes you kid touchers lying in wait. In the UK, you're just weird.

I like Jillians out on Long Island...and the games at ESPN Zone kick ass....went to the Broadway Arcade on a date once too...I want to check out Bar Code.

I love pinball and all the older games like Pac Man, and Tetris and Paper Boy.
