Any arcades in Eastern Mississippi or Western Alabama?

I've recently moved to Mississippi (near Meridian) and have not had any luck finding a decent arcade, or even a location with more than one classic game. Can anyone help? I'm specifically looking for some place with a Donkey Kong machine.
 
If there were any nice arcades locally I wouldn't have to have my own machines.

I can't speak for the middle of the state, but there's not much along the coast. The one "arcade" in the mall has a 30 year reunion game with Pac/Ms.Pac/Galaga in it, Guitar Hero, and a Hunting game of some sort.

Everything else in there is redemption machines.

There is a local skating rink with several old and newish-type games, but none of them are in decent enough repair to be worth playing. The owner won't put any money into them because he says they don't make enough money, but they'll never make any money if they don't work.

On the positive side of things, I've bought a heck of a lot of machines out of Mississippi. There are enough small towns off of the main roads that you should be able to find a steady supply of cheap games and classic cars under old sheds and barns out behind folks' houses.

Yeah, I kinda figured as much. There is a Ms. Pac-Man cabaret in my local Pizza Hut, and I guess that's about as good as it's going to get. I've found a few places with redemption games, but I don't care about those at all. I'm saving up to purchase a Donkey Kong machine, hope I can find a good deal in someone's shed or barn someday. It's MAME until then I guess...bummer.

Thought I'd bump this up and try my luck again. I have still not been able to find anywhere that has a donkey kong machine within a 3 hour drive of my house. Going through withdrawls...
 
Try plugging in a zip code from the region into this site:

http://arcadefly.com

And see what it comes up with. AF doesn't always have details on what the locations carry exactly but it is usually good about showing the locations at least. Other than that there is Aurcade.com, which has fewer locations than AF listed (but it has been growing as users have filled in) but has more details on what each location carries.
