Title: New Arcade Opens Where I live! =3
Post by: Sharky on July 30, 2016, 04:34:15 am

Little bit of a personal post but I never thought I would see the day... The last one burt down in the early 00's taking some really nice classic SEGA machines with it :(

This one is pretty huge, open on the spot of an old nightclub.... 50 machines including from SEGA, Outrun 2, SEGA Rally 3 and the new onrail Transformers, Mario and Sonic Olympics 2016, Plants vs. Zombies.

Skill games: Sonic Air Hockey, Sonic Basketball, SEGA Snakes & Ladders. (Sega distributed Hello Kitty Air Hockey)

Kiddies: Sonic All-Star Racing (kiddie car ride)

... I might pester them to see if they might get some classics in. (doubt it.)

Just got back and it was pretty great. First time I got to play SEGA's Transformers I had ignored it until now and I thought it was actually fantastic. They also had the 2 player Outrun machine where the control switches player every time you hit a car/check point.

I'm pretty sure SEGA Amusement Europe supplied almost ever machine, even the ones not marked SEGA are distributed by them. Theres a large 'SEGA' and for some reason 'Nintendo' billboard outside too.

I think I'm going to do a write up, with photos soon.

I'm happy for you. If there was one near me I'd be there all the time, just as I was when I was younger. Arcades are special places. Online gaming isn't the same.

Damn. That's so cool.
It has most of the newest arcades made and distributed by SEGA in this list (http://www.segaarcade.com/arcade/18).

I envy you since most of arcade games here are from SEGA of Japan (Maimai, Chunithm, Brick People).

Here in Argentina you can still play arcades like "the house of the dead" or "Virtual Striker" XD

To be honest I was a little upset that there WASN'T a House of the Dead Machine... HotD has always been a staple for me.

Awesome arcade, Sharky! Nice to see so many modern day SEGA machines in one place!

Here in Chicago, of course, we have pinball arcades up the ass due to Chicago being the pinball capital of the world. But there are also some very nice Dave and Busters and GameWorks locations just outside the city as well as Galloping Ghost which is just insanity.

The GameWorks used to have an Ollie King, but I am certain it is gone as the last time I was there to play it was 2004...
