I want to know them all. And the FYE moved next door and the arcade was long gone before that too. What I want to do is star them all in google maps, then when I am on the road with my android phone I will know right where they are.
 
The one in lake george wasn't huge but had a good number of games, some really old ones too, fortune tellers, weight machines, one of those fun shocker games (there's a fester adams version).

I don't frequent the malls much and when i did i would never buy from fye so expensive lol.

Albany Zero Gravity Laser Tag is a good stop if you're in the area. They have a Galaga and Ms Pac-Man dedicated, a few Tokyo Drift drivers, a few boat racers and the new Terminator gun game. I stop in there on my way home from work and play a game of Galaga if the mood stricks me. I feel like the creepy old dude hanging out in an arcade full of young kids but what'cha gonna do?

The other day I happened upon around 8 premium pins set up in a store called Video Environment plus in this real trash strip mall off Fuller Road in Colonie.
Whitewater, Adam's Family, Twilight Zone etc! I went inside all excited and they were not powered up. The clerk said that they belonged to a friend of the own and that they were not for sale or open to the public to play.

I liked Lazer Tag better when they had a DK but it's gone now. Isn't Video Environment Plus and ADULT video store?? I havent been there in a loooong time.
 
There are a couple more arcades in Lake George. There's one on the corner of Canada and Main St near the mini golf. The other 2 are okay. Not a lot of classics but some good pins. There was an arcade in the Wilton Mall last year when I was there. I'd love to find some more "real" arcades closer to Albany. A guy tried to open one in Coxsackie (Greene County) and it closed in short order.

59 North Pearl Street Albany

I always like Lionelli's because of the funky fortune tellers and other old old Mechanical games.
