Arcade Poll Questionaire #3

[p1899m]

Pizza parlors count? I used to play games at Chuck E Cheese, Bullwinkles, Round Table, Mountain Mikes, Godfathers, and 49er Pizza in Folsom. Pizza and video games go hand in hand for me. I didn't think those counted as arcades though.

I'd call CEC and bullwinkles arcades as they not only had food but usually had a large number of games. Most of the local pizza parlors I grew up with had what I would classify as game rooms. Maybe 8-10 games tops and usually less.

The biggest arcade I ever went to was inside a restaurant. It was half restaurant, half convenience store. It had really good hamburgers so that's gonna be my answer!

We use to frequent the Fun-N-Pizza in Boardman where we would play games and eat... pizza. I remember they had quite a few cocktail games.
Also, my parents would take us to Chuck E Cheese on Sundays. There we would play games and eat a plate of grease. One time at CEC, I recall having gone through a dollars' worth of quarters in a Defender game in about 45 seconds ..lol.

You mean Fun-N-Games in Boardman?
I own the Galaga and Ms Pac from that place!! They still have the placard on the back!
I wonder if you ever played on of my machines back in the day?!

none of the arcades in humboldt county served food. Check that, Tiffany's ice cream parlor in arcata on the plaza had 30 flavors of ice cream. They must have had 70+ games too which was cool.

4 or 5 other arcades came and went in humboldt, none of them served food.

My step brother and I used to ride our bikes or walk 3-5 miles each way to play 1 or 2 quarters at the round table. We also lived so far out in the boonies in arcata that we would walk across a train tressel (correct spelling?) over 100' high just to play some games at the bowling alley in blue lake. I was freaked out scared doing that.
