Southeast Michigan - new arcade open!

[ubersaurus]

Just a heads up, if you're in Southeast Michigan, a new arcade just opened up in Brighton a week ago that's focused largely on pinball and golden age video game machines! I checked it out earlier today, and was thoroughly impressed by the selection - not so much that half the machines were off, but since their "grand opening" is in a week, I'm hoping they'll have those ready to go by then.

 

All the old pinball machines and video games are 50 cents (two tokens, really), while the new pinball machines - basically everything that's come out since Iron Man - are a dollar. There's also a few touch screen games and a couple Japanese candy cabs that weren't turned on yet, and a few really old electromechanical machines in the rear of the pinball section - shooting gallery type things.There's advertised 100 pinball machines and probably around 50 or so video game cabs.

 

Among the games I saw:

Super Punch-out, Dragon's Lair, Asteroids, Food Fight, Star Gate, Pac-man, Ms. Pac-Man, Q-Bert, Wizard of Wor, Crazy Climber, Vanguard, Kickman, Rip Off, Make Trax, Frenzy, Samurai Shodown II, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr, Popeye, Mario Bros, Road Runner, Tempest, Tron, Burgertime, Satan's Hollow, Pleiades, Deluxe Space Invaders, and a bootleg of the proper Space Invaders.

 

So yeah. If you're in the area, check em out! It may be a good place for classic gaming meets, for sure, and I'd like to make sure they don't disappear on us!
