Golf N Stuff Arcade from Karate Kid Movie

Recommended Posts

Tricia (my wife) and I spent an hour or so at the Golf N Stuff Arcade in Norwalk, CA. This was the arcade from Karate Kid. Still looks the same on the outside but the inside is another story. Hey, where's the Asteroids machine? They did have a few nice multi cabs - Namco (ms pac/Galaga), Williams (Joust / Robotron) and Nintendo (DK, DKII, Mario Bros.). Also had a nice Galaga 88' cab which I proceeded to get the high score on (89,000) with one guy. My name is in lights once again in an arcade. Tricia made her way to the Cotton Candy machine, played some skeeball and played the suprisingly fun redemption game based on Deal or No Deal. We also spent a short time in the Photo Booth ;)

Now all you need is an 84 white Corvette and you are set :)

 

Great pics, thanks for sharing. I am amazed when stuff like this is still around. Most of them are leveled and turned into Starbucks around here! Did they have a poster or anything tying the arcade to the movie? I would if I were the owner, of course I am also an 80's geek.

Cool You guys are lucky in the States having all the retro arcades all over the place although obviously it isn't what it once was.

Over here in the United Kingdom and in Ireland there is practically nothing like that.The only thing you will find in Arcades is the

odd new Video Game from Raw Thrills or Sega and then it's just redemption machines, fruit machines and maybe the odd Air

Hockey Table or Pool Table .In a way it's like going back in time to the pre video game era when Electro Mechanical Games

and Pinball Machines where the main thing.Arcade Video Games where really just a short 80's fad and its only people today like

us here at Atari Age that keep the interest going.

Whenever I hear "Cruel Summer" by Bananarama I remember the arcade in that movie, because that song was playing during the scene.
