Over the summer we took the kids and my wife's parents to Niagara Falls (the Canadian side). Along the way, I saw a few machines and thought I'd post about them.

First up were a couple of cabs in the diner that we stopped at for lunch on the way there. In Bingham, NY, just off exit 6 of I81, you'll find the Spot Diner. It's a pretty standard diner, decent food (the deserts look lovely, they even had canoli! But sadly we didn't partake of sweets on this stop).

They had 2 cabs: A Ms. Pac, and a Soul Edge. I didn't have time to play either one, but both monitors looked to be in good shape and both cabs were in decent condition.

In the picture of the Soul Edge, it looks like there's another cab next to it, but I'm pretty sure that's just the mirrors reflecting it's own side art (like you see in the Ms. Pac picture).

I'll add the photos from the hotel's arcade later.

The Canadian side is so much nicer than the US side. I do a lot of work in the Falls in the US, needs so much work. Going to the Canadian side is like going to a different world. The adult entertainment on the falls side is much better as well. ;)
 
It's Binghamton NY not Bingham NY :) And you could have stopped at my store when you were at that diner, we're like 5-10 minutes from there depending on traffic. Then you could have seen all sorts of arcade games...
 
The US side is a dump. If your near the falls it's not to bad, but don't stray down a side street. The local radio station reads the police blotter weekly. You would be amazed at some of the things they read. The Canadian side is nicer, but it's just a tourist trap. I may be a bit jaded as I basically grew up there.
