If any directors want to film some post-apocalyptic scenes for their movie that's certainly the location to do it.

there are websites out there of all kinds of run down places i used to google them when i worked midnights i think they were called urban photo or something like that i did come across some old arcade ones before and have wondered if the stuff was still useable. even if it was underwater would the pcb still be good? i have never washed any of mine but i know some of you guys put yours in the dishwasher so would they still be good after a flood?

pcb washed with freshwater and immediately dried != pcb submerged in sludgy slimy saltwater, mold, and rainwater for 1+ months.

Thats what kills it...the seawater and everything else that got in there, then dried.

I GUARANTEE you that anything "classic" the traces have fallen right off the boards by now, anything newer in design is at least rusted to hell and back.

None of this shit is possibly salvageable in the electronics department. MAYBE monitors who's chassis' that were high enough to be above the water level. Game boards? Unless they were mounted high in cabinets, they're landfill material.
