Looking great as usual, Shawny. I'm trying to catch up on the forums now that my busy travel season is over. Can't wait to see the progress on the Theatre upgrades!

Finally had a game night with the boys and their friends last night. I just happened to take a couple pictures when everybody was upstairs grabbing snacks, but trust me they were all in there. I played the most games, but the kids played some too. Of course my son had his buddy over and immediately asked me where Boot Hill was. I literally sold that game about three years ago. Kids. I was just happy that everything was working for a change.
Incredible. What's that game wedged in your Atari row? Something B&W?

NICE!!!!! I love this for you!
Did you do a loose, visual game audit to see what was the most played this time by them?

So just to update this thread in real time, I had my brother and his kids over last night. They absolutely devoured the Arcade. All sorts of games being played between him, his 4 year-old, his 12-year-old and 14-year-old. Fed them some shredded chicken thigh sandwiches and then we watched Across the Spiderverse in the theater. They stopped over about 4 PM and didn't leave till 10. My dumbass didn't take any pictures of the occasion. But it was a lot of fun. Hope to have them over this weekend again and then I will be taking some pictures.

In the meantime, here are some highlights of our dice game from Friday night in the new(ish) Game Booth.

Yeah, my son found some QR code online that gives them unlimited root beer floats. Since he got his license a month ago, he brings one home from work or school just about every day lol.

Oh and this is kinda neat. I found a couple of vintage pics of the entrance to the old Outer Limits arcade that used to sit next to Sears in the Crossroads Mall in St. Cloud. This arcade was the inspiration for the lighted sign I custom made years ago.
That photo of the Outer Limits is great. I've been scouring the internet for photos of the two different arcades that we frequented BITD with no luck. I get all excited when I come across a pic that looks exactly like my arcade and then I click on it to find out it's somewhere in Florida or something. All those 80's mall pics look so similar.

The thing is, these were the first pics I've ever found in 20 years of looking. Now that I found them, I'm pretty sure the Stearns County History Museum in St. Cloud would probably have a hundred of them or more. I really want pics of the interior obviously. It was a long, skinny dark Arcade. I know they had a ton of normal uprights, but the one game that sticks with me after all these years was Western-themed game that used a giant rear projection screen or film projector screen that someone told me could have been Mad Dog McCree.
That would be sweet to see what photos they had. You probably could contact them about it. Most museums are pretty accommodating when it comes to stuff like that.
