Dude - those are few and extremely far between. Don't complain about condition - what you have right in the hotel is a mecca of gaming I usually have to enjoy on an iPad or notebook with MAME running. Last time I saw one like that was in the late 90's with a Capcom Bowling and DK - and the Capcom had a rusted TB roller set. (Too close to the pool area, yet again ad nauseum). THis is a stellar lineup for a hotel. Most of them want to nix the games in favor of $5 an hour Super Nintendo game rentals. Welcome to the 1990's!
 
I'd pour some travel money into that World Class Bowling too - we love playing that here on the MAME cab - it's a lot of fun, shame the screen is so washed out.

When I see a lineup like that I wish for a drill, soldering iron, Bob Roberts overnight shipping, and IAML docs....and some quiet, uninterrupted vigilante time.
 
You should be good for a week in there Ken, try the Lethal Enforcers for a bit, that game grows on a guy, I kind of like it... bet they have some good wings up there...
 
Ill make a video tomorrow. 5 of the monitors are horrible but Im not going to complain, it gives me something to do to kill time when im not working
 
What sucks is at 10 pm they usually come around and flip the breaker regardless of if youre playing
 
Was gonna guess the Millennium...it about 4 miles from my house!

ETA: not too far from there is a John and Mary's on Harlem (the block heading west past the mall..or a right out of the hotel lot from the front) that has a Theater of Magic and a Tales of the Arabian Nights pinball. Might be a nice lunch stop.

Maybe drop Kawydud a line...He's might actually be closer than me. I'm in the middle of a major house reno but could use a break. I don't have much stuff up and running but probably 10 vids and 12 or so pinball...and the wife is out of town this weekend =). He's got way cooler stuff than me though!





Millennium Hotel near Buffalo airport. Ill be here about a week and half or so

Yeah we should get together or something. I'm usually only off on Sundays
 
Interesting to see a beast busters 2, I've only seen that once before, it was broken, and the parts are long gone. I'd be interested to catch a video of the gameplay to see how it is, if possible. I'm surprised it's still on the road.
 
I'd like to add this location to the arcade finder over at aurcade.com, but have a couple questions. I assume this is the motel located at 2040 Walden Avenue, Cheektowaga, Buffalo, right? (looked up the address on their website). Also, is the Ms Pac turbo or regular speed? And finally, I assume that multicade is one of those 48-in-1 or 60-in-1's...do you know which one it is? Thanks :)
 
Very cool.

Once of my biggest regrets over the years has not been
photographing the many game rooms and arcades that I've
passed through over the years. There were so many in Vegas
no too long ago :(
