I don't even see arcade games in laundromats anymore (not that I use them, but I look through the windows when I pass by), and where does it make more sense to have an arcade game? You're waiting around with nothing to do, and have quarters in-hand.

I still see games at laundromats around here. A few are from a friend of mine who has some at a couple different places, but a few others aren't. One has a Pac-Man Plus and Toobin', another has some sort of multi-pac in a ms pac cab. My friend has Asteroids in one and Pac-Man and Street Fighter in another.

BTW: does anyone else find RLEVIN's new avatar disturbing? I think it's gonna cause nightmares

They were making money hand over fist with poker machines and they just used these as fillers. These guys got very rich for the most part and if you think I am a crook you should deal with these guys. This guy is name is Willy T so that should tell you something

Willie Vines was rich at one time but it wasn't because of poker machines. That's a whole different story. He is trying to unload games that have been sitting in trailers behind his warehouse for years. The same trailers I was trying to get into over 10 years ago.

Now it's just him and one or two employees running the show versus what it used to be. I had a long conversation with him at the Nov Kinsport auction.

Here's my driveway from a few years ago when Pacs and Ms Pacs were bringing big bucks at auction; these days, not so much :-(

Man I'm sure your neighbors just LOVE you! [/sarchasm]

Re:

I think the market will look better for them, seems like the only games you see in bars/public is Golden Tee, which I'm not a big fan of golf...
