Hey, if you breathe that in, odds are you'll start mutating too.
May be interesting to attend- weather permitting. Maybe road trip with another from my area.

Lay super auctions event I went to prices got ridiculous. Turned out to be a big waste of time. Picked up a Craigslist game on the way home.
That picture is definitely the Playland building at Sylvan beach, NY. I live 15 minutes from there. That building never had arcade games in it even during the eighties when I went there on the weekends as a kid. Playland was mostly skeeball and some type of gambling games that they had in there where you won prizes instead of money. The amusement park is small (I would say about 2 acres) they had two small buildings that had the arcade in it but I only considered one building as the main arcade. Whoever wrote that piece of fiction on the super auction site must not have ever gone there. What a good piece of writing to hype up something that's not going to be worth the trouble in the end. I love how they said it will make National News, yeah right. I am not convinced there are 300 machine kicking around there behind some false wall. There isn't even any warehouse space in the park. That's a bunch of BS. I have gone there many times this past summer and last summer with the wife and kids. The old arcade had a few games there just sitting against the wall broken. Nothing really special, NBA JAM and some other game I can't remember now. So of course I ask if they want to get rid of them because they obviously aren't going to fix them. No one that worked in the park could give me an answer on that, no one, not even the management knew anything about the machines there. I heard a rumor from a local pinball guy that I know that the two shipping containers on site have video games in there but that was never confirmed. I have seen the two containers. Probably just full of junk. No one at the park knew anything about them. Maybe its a different place and they just used the Sylvan beach picture, who knows. Maybe its really Seabreeze. It is the fourth oldest park in America. But if it is Sylvan Beach don't buy the hype.
