While trekking across country I drove by a laundromat in Indiana and saw what looked like an arcade in the windows so had to stop... I would not mind having to do laundry here!! :)

Ironically , you would have to decide what machine to put your last few coins into ,,,,yep wet clothes it is ,,
 
I recently had to make a trip to the laundromat when my dryer died (mid cycle)...luckily the one I picked had both Ms Pac-Man and Galaga, so I had something to entertain myself while they dried :D
 
There used to be a laundromat like this up in Oshkosh. They seriously had more video games than laundry machines. I didn't mind going and helping with tha laundry then. Last time I was in town though, I think all the games were gone
 
So, the pin was out of order? My Last Action Hero pin actually has an advertisement for the Tales From the Crypt pin built into the software.

Cool lineup of games regardless.
 
The first arcade game I ever worked on was in a laundromat. I used to do laundry and play Galaga. One day Galaga was not working and the owner let me fix it. Turned out to be the harness was not sitting well on the PCB so it was an easy fix and I got a bunch of free plays whenever I came back in.
 


JJ's Laundromat has a bunch of games in it. Too bad most of them are pretty beat up now, and not working or partially working :(

I found a couple pictures on my phone I had from my last visit.

Sorry for the poor quality I must have been on crack or something when I took the pictures.

Maybe I will stop in there this weekend and see if I can grab some better pictures.

Found a website with a list of their games.

Good sighting in the wild for sure. That laundo-cade is alot better than the movie theater cades I've seen... Well done on the pic documentation:cool:

I wish the mat across the street here had golden tee... just some neo geo crap I noticed last time I was looking for laundromat signs:rolleyes:

It was sort of creepy getting pictures... there were about 10 men hovering around the area watching me - and probably thinking I was a lunatic... I prefer people getting to know me first before coming to that conclusion!! :D

You've convinced me! A 15 hour drive and instead of just eating you stop to takes pics of games at a laundromat? Awesome, but kooky. :D
