Ive heard about this place for a while but never made it there until tonight.

I have lots of crappy cell pics i'll post tommorow, place is freaking awesome!!!!

Its the first and last friday of the month $15.00 for 9:00pm-2:00am 250 vids/pins total in a 8000 sqft space with full bar.

there retail prices are crazy high but that keeps the games there for us to play :)
 
Did you just move there? Most folks I know in the Houston area have known of this place for a while...
 
I went last year for the first time, but known about it maybe for a year or two sadly. My problem with them is their site supposedly advertises top notch quality games, when you go their to play them only 3/4 of them are working and not so good quality (And only one time out of the month......come on). Unless they have for sale is upstairs and not on their so called show floor. On top of that their prices are ridiculous for classic games (the ones they sell).

I don't mind paying them $15 for a unlimited lock in deal, but at least have the games working. I think they are too focused on their bar now to care too much for their games.

Planet Zero however is a lot better, not many classics, but a generous amount of imports. You pay to play, like at Dave and Busters with little credit cards......they don't sell games really.....but they have a nicer atmosphere then what Joystick's really trys to show on their site even though that photo could be 10 years out of date.......

I rate them according to what they got and what works.....
1. Julians (They got nicer working games I like)
2. Planet Zero (Mostly fighting games, but a few racing games I enjoy)
3. Dave and Busters (If that one still exists......but had the best Mech Warrior VR ever)
4. Joystick Amusements (You know my story....)

I have yet to go to this place. I see they have a bar now and I wouldn't mind going. I've lived here all of my life too. Just that, this place never looks open to just go in and play. lol. P-Zero has alot of imports. I love those machines. Just one heck of a drive for me. 45minutes. No thanks.
 
its about an hour drive for me but it was worth hit. there only available to play the last and the first friday of the month.
