Its our only one..and its pure crap. It has no classic games really, other than Tetris and a pin or two. There's one game thats a cockpit style rail shooter and it has all sorts of graphical glitches where there is TERRIBLE screen tearing to the point its hardly playable, its been like that for a months. There's always out of order machines and in the corner there's been a tales of the crypt keeper pin and a golden tee not in use, assumed to be not working. There's a soccer game with way too much red, looks awful. There's also a adams family pin with a pen on the play field and a bit roughed up exterior. This really hurts me to see games abused.
 
our local arcade has a very nice galaga and pac man i have fond memories of playing. they went out of order years ago and nobody has bothered to fix them so there they sit, neglected. they have alot of nice games that have sat there broken for years. i am pretty sure the owner is using it as storage for broken games at this point.
 
The arcade in the local mall may have just closed. I stopped by last Monday and the gate was down. I am hoping it was just a fluke. That arcade has many classics including Galaga, Road Blasters cockpit, Hard Driving upright, and Enduro Racer. There are also two pins, South Park and Revenge from Mars. They also have many newer games and redemption games. It is a real loss for the area.

I'd realy only be interested in a few games, and I have no room for those.:(

He doesn't have anything on my must-have list anyway. If he does decide to sell I will tell the other locals and see if there is anything they want.

This only leaves Chuck E Cheese and a few location with a pin or two local to me. The CEC is pretty kick-ass but there are absolutely no classics. I mostly go when I need a redemption fix...
 
We don't even have a local arcade any longer... The last one we had was an Aladdin's Castle, and that feels like decades ago... but the memories spent there will last a lifetime. :)
