Lexington KY???? Anyone, arcade?

Well that sux bout no arcade or anything arcade related here. I'm not sure if I can make it there I'm in class all week until at least 5-6pm. Took a drive downtown and must say some very cool old houses/buildings for sure. Thanks for letting me know.
 
If you want to get a classic game fix, there's a restaurant/bar called Zanzabar in Louisville that has nearly 2 dozen games. Among the list: Ms Pac, Galaga, Asteroids, Popeye, Defender, Joust, Joust 2, Asteroids Deluxe, Tron, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr, Eagle, Centipede, Missile Command, Space Invaders, and a couple others, plus a few pins.

Yes, I highly recommend Zbar. Very cool place. Great food and awesome selection of imports on tap. Some of the other games not mentioned are Pole Position II cockpit, Pitfall 2 & Tempest. The guy that owns it "Antz" loves games and is very nice. A+++++++

Another thumbs up for Zbar. Please be careful if you play the Joust CT. :)
 
Not sure if it's there anymore, but there was a place on Winchester Rd. in east Lexington called KY Game Exchange, where they had lots of classic games and pinballs for sale. Some you could even play....... but the guy who ran it wasn't exactly the most nicest person I've met either.

Dude, you're being WAYYYYY TOOO nice. He makes me seem like a saint!:eek:

There is a bowling alley that has A POTC in there as of last July. Other than that I couldn't find anything. I spent the night there once on my drive back from St. Louis and the side of town I was on wasn't the best, nothing really to do either unless you were looking to drink.
 
In a word...... no. Lexington had an arcade up until 5 years ago, when Kentucky Arcade finally closed on campus.

I played there a lot when I was at UK from 1992 to 1994. Looked for it last November when I was there, and of course, it was gone.

Thanks all, I'll have to maybe make that trip out to Louisville later on in the week. Class for some reason is running a bit late...blah blah blah. If I get out there I'll tell "Ants" the guys from KLOV say hi...
 
There is a nice Sinbad pin and a Muhammed Ali pin at the Green Lantern (497 W 3rd). Sadly the KY Arcade closed down...used to go there almost every day after class. +1 for Zbar in Louisville - if you have time it's worth the drive.... they just got a Jungle King today.

Anyone know what happened to the games (please don't say they auctioned them off for pennies on the dollar....)

I too missed its closing (along with Tony's Arcade :mad: )

Last I heard (several years back), he still had a storage shed to keep his games, but was asking WAY too much for them.

The owner of Ky Arcade, or Tony of Tony's Arcade? Or did Tony own both?
 
I'm setting up new games in the Cinemark near the Fayette Mall this week. Nothing classic but there are some cool new games there. Terminator, Dead Heat's, Razing Storm... Theres also a Pac Man Arcade Party and a Pac Man Battle Royale there. That Battle Royale is friggin fun!

I'll be in Louisville in two weeks doing the same thing there.
