I'm at a loss here. I remember seeing two arcade museums on the net a while ago. One was in Missouri and the other was maybe in Chicago. I know both of them went out of business but can anyone remember the name of either place and are the sites still floating around cyberspace? Also, I heard of one in Europe that also closed. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Gary
 
I've found one of them! http://coinop.org/features/coinopmuseum/
It was the National Coin Op and Video Game Museum in St. Louis. Does anyone know when this museum closed and the reason why? I'm assuming it didn't stay open because it couldn't generate enough income. I would like to speak with the person who ran it if possible.

The other museum/classic game room I believe was in Chicago. The pictures I recall seeing showed a room that looked long and narrow with games along each wall. They were at a 45 degree angle to the wall so you could see the side art. I believe the walls were made of brick. Can someone help me on this one??

The one in Europe I can't be sure of. I heard that story several years ago. If there are any others I've missed. let me know.
