Arcade party time again... lots of schedule conflicts got in the way and I missed having a party last year, but we're back in 2025!

I've got a party coming up on Saturday May 17th starting @ noon, in Manassas Park, VA. Everyone is welcome to come... pizza and soda (and junk food counter!) will be provided, and alcohol is welcome, but BYOB. The party usually goes until ~7PM-ish, so come early, late, or whenever.

You can see (slightly outdated) pics and a video of the arcade on my site: http://www.projectvb.com/arcade/ . There are additional games on the main level not pictured - including several Megatouch games for the very casual gamers (some pics in the previous party thread: https://forums.arcade-museum.com/th...rday-11-4-23-northern-va.529420/#post-4745919 ).

Drop me a message if you'd like to come, and I'll send you my address/contact info.

I won't be able to attend, but wow your arcade is amazing! Great work and great collection!
 
Everytime I see your party posts it reminds me to get my shit together, clear out the game room and organize a get together. As you would expect, wish I was closer.
 
Thanks guys! Like probably most people here, I don't spend as much time in the arcade as I'd like... so these parties are a good excuse to fire up the games, make sure everything's working well, and even play some of the games. :)

And for the out-of-towners - if you're ever in the DC area, feel free to send me a message if you'd like to drop by.

Always my favorite party, hope to make it.
Great! Unfortunately I haven't acquired a Zaxxon yet, but hopefully there are enough other games to keep you occupied. :D

I can make this one!
Looking forward to it... BTW, I'm running your FP hack in my Space Duel now, so you can observe your work "in the wild"!

Still got a lot of work to do to get the kitchen ready, but junk food counter is piling up. And the games are moved in from the garage to the main floor... gotta move some furniture around to get the games organized, but that's maybe a tomorrow thing. :)

Looking forward to the party on Saturday!

You gotta do an updated walkthrough video.
I agree! That's always on my list of things to do... though for the most part the basement hasn't changed much (as far as cabinets go, I think just the Fire Escape is now in the place of the Megatouch).

Excellent line-up man! And there at the end is the OR cockpit, wicked nice! Love that Atari black light poster too. I sincerely hope I can make it back east sometime and play with all you DC/Virginia nuts! Looks damn fun.

You can be my "plus one!"
 
Great party!

Thanks for doing this, loved it!

I need to be reminded from time to time how bad I suck at Pooyan

Glad everyone seemed to have a good time, and it was fun to hang out... thanks for coming! And while there were a few minor issues, I don't think any games actually died during the party, so that was nice!
