Godzilla #1 Posted October 12, 2009 Does anyone else remember this place? I can't remember if it was a real abandoned subway or just made to look like one, it was a large open underground space, with a bunch of games. Many of them were the old 'penny-arcade' type boardwalk amusements, and they also a had a few very early b/w only arcade games, like red baron. It was either late 70s or early 80s, I can't remember precisely. I'd love to see some old pictures from this place.... or if anyone remembers what it was called....

Red 5 #2 Posted October 12, 2009 You're not talking about BarCode right by Times Square (42nd) are you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhd #3 Posted October 12, 2009 Abandoned Stations has a great deal of information about old subway tunnels and related topics, but there is no mention of an arcade in any of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Godzilla #5 Posted October 12, 2009 I don't think it was the bar code, unless that goes underground and has old electromechanical penny-arcades in it. Did penn station have any of the things I mentioned? I remember it being not part of an actual working train station... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red 5 #6 Posted October 13, 2009 Barcode (when it was open) has you walk into a street level entrance, but everything was in the basement of the place. You had to go down a couple flights of stairs. It did not look too much like a train or subway statino though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godzilla #7 Posted October 13, 2009 What was in it, though? was it a bar? This place I went to was definitely not a bar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
