RUSTY QUARTERS RETRO ARCADE & MUSEUM to open November in Minneapolis, MN

Our Press Release:

Back in the 80's...
Video Arcades were everywhere. This was the place that you could hang out with your friends after school and spend the rest of your lunch money. This was the place that you begged your parents to drop you off every Saturday. This was the place where you challenged your friends to a "friendly" game of Mario Brothers that turned into a personal vendetta to double-cross your opponent, with a crab on his back. This is the place that people cheered you on as you grabbed that last pellet, jumped over that barrel, or finally fought that final boss.This was the place that you would give anything to get your 3 initials on the High Score game screen.
In the 80's, Video Games were the pinnacle of entertainment. You couldn't wait to drop in a quarter in the bright shinny box with the glowing marquee. Even if your game only lasted 30 seconds or so, there's this feeling that the outside world didn't matter and all of your problems could be solved if you just had enough lives to dodge that hammer, drop that rock or shoot that robot. There's excitement and pure magic in that feeling... And we want to bring that Magic back!

Right now, We (Sage and Annie Spirtos) are having a 50% off closing sale (Puff N' Stuff Gifts and Novelty). From the profits of the sale, We will reopen in November as Rusty Quarters Retro Arcade & Museum. We will start with 20 Classic Arcade games (Pac-Man, Centipede, Galaga, Mario Bros… just to name a few) and add new games every month… I think with the right planing and placement, we'll be able to accommodate a total of 35-40 machines. Most games will be 50¢ per play, with fighting games and lesser known titles (zookeeper for example) set to 25¢ per play.
Still working our arcade hours but we will be open at 10am on Sat-Sun for the kids and close at 11pm on Fri-Sat for the weekend crowd. We will also offer special events, tournaments, and the arcade for party rentals (Still working our a price list). Also Sage is an Ordained Minister (with First Nation Church)… just in case gamers want to tie the knot.

Feel free to give use a call at 612-259-3511 with any questions. Find us on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rusty-Quarters-Arcade/226688464042580), Website is coming soon (WWW.RQARCADE.COM)

I think you misunderstood, this is a new arcade that is opening in minneapolis, mn
 
LOL my mistake, it looks EXACTLY like ours.

I really don't understand the negitive comment about a new arcade opening. I think people would be happy to have a new place to hang out and play games. I wish that there was more retro arcades out there.
 
Ill take donations for my arcade too please
