So I took a cruise and I noticed that there was an arcade. I hunted and searched and I found it. Strangely enough no classics.

We took a Hawaiian cruise last May through NCL. I was extremely disappointed in the "arcade" they advertised in the brochure.

They only had drivers and shooters. Half of the games were broken anyways. There was absolutely no one in there. I guess it's hard to find good classic arcade games on land and on sea.

This is at John Asquaga's Nugget here in Reno. Not only a classic; a pretty rare one. At least one found on land! :)

Yep, Ive seen that countless times and each time I see it, I want to wheel it out the door and give it a better home. They also have a System 1 Indiana Jones sitting dead behind the skeeballs. Ive contacted the arcade manager with a purchase offer, and she eventually ignored me completely.
 
I was in Sunriver OR over the weekend and their game room was pretty sad... a World Cup Soccer pin (DMD was going out, the goalie didn't move... but at least the flippers were strong), a surf planet that the colors were all washed out, 2 driving games, and an air hockey table.
 
There's a Dave and Buster's around here that has pretty good games. They have a sort of electromechanical shooting gallery, Mario Kart GP, what I believe is a MAME machine but I'm not sure, several linked Daytona USA/Star Wars Racer/Arctic Thunder games. They also have Virtua Tennis 3, and I'm pretty sure they have Street Fighter IV. And all the normal Ms. Pac Man, Galaga, Centipede, etcetera.
 
Stopped in a fun center withmy kids a few weeks ago in Omaha, they had on the floor, a Tempest, Qbert, Joust, Galage, Ms Pac, and a Missle Command. I took pics and videoed it, just prior to setting a kik-azz score on the Missle Command and Tempest....I will post them later in a new thread.... It was fun to play those in the wild..... hadn't done it like that in a long time
 
We have Crabtown USA out here that's nothing but classics (about 50 games) but they're ALL beat to hell. Every now and then I stop by to play a game or two. The place is always empty...
