Eltigro Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Visited a really nice arcade today. Pay a ten dollar cover fee and all the machines are set to, as the name would imply, free play. They had a mix of classic and newer machines, but it was definitely slanted toward the classics. Ms Pac Man, Galaga, Burgertime, QBert, Frogger, Mario Bros, Tempest, Defender, Asteroids, Dig Dug, Rygar, Donkey Kong... I realised afterwards that I should have taken more pictures, but I was too busy playing. (And as a bonus, outside we saw a Vista Cruiser station wagon just like in That 70s Show.) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+x=usr(1536) Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 There's three sites - http://www.aurcade.com/locations/view.aspx?id=6142- Arlington http://www.aurcade.com/locations/view.aspx?id=3062- Richardson http://www.aurcade.com/locations/view.aspx?id=6144- Denton I've spent a couple of hours at the Denton location, and it sounds as though it's fairly similar to the one in Richardson in terms of the spread of the games. Not really much to add - it's an arcade, they have older (and newer) machines, and it was fun. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Dallas is experiencing a renaissance of arcades opening lately. I've been to 6 in the last 3 weeks including Free Play in Richardson and in Denton. The Richardson location sells food, but they both have a nice selection of drinks and beers. I'm not even done, I've still got to make it to the Texas Pinball Museum, Cidercade, Versus, Corky's and there's even a few more. I think Dallas is starting to be a good place for retro gaming tourism (if there is such a thing). If someone came here for the "Let's Play Gaming Expo" in August you'd get to come to a great con and could hop around to all these arcades. Then there is the Texas Pinball Festival in March which is shaping up to be the largest festival dedicated to Pinball anywhere. I don't claim to be up on arcades all over the country or anything, but I've never heard of another city with quite this much gaming available so readily. Here's a post that I made in the "What have you actually played thread" that both me and Eltigro post in with all the games that I played just this week. Arcade Arabian 8 Asteroids 14 Baby Pac Man 35 Centipede 15 Defender 18 Donkey Kong 77 Donkey Kong Jr 20 Dragon's Lair 9 Galaga 4 Granny and the Gators 27 Gyruss 16 Jump Coaster 15 Quantum 24 Satan's Hollow 9 Star Wars 22 Star wars Trilogy 3 Track & Field 3 Vindicators 10 Zoo Keeper 9 Most of these games were played on original machines. I only did emulation for Donkey Kong and Jump Coaster this week. I went to 4 different arcade type places this week and played a ton of stuff. Most of the arcade games were played at Regeneration and Free Play in Richardson (the same place Eltigro went not too long ago). It was awesome. I also played these pinball machines at those two spots as well as Nickelrama and BOS Pinball Lounge: Pinball Aerosmith Atlantis (em) Batman '66 Black Knight Sword of Rage Cybernaut Deadpool F14 Tomcat Flash Flash Gordon Iron Maiden Monopoly Munsters Night Moves Royal Guard (em) Sinbad (em) Spiderman Taxi Total Nuclear Annihilation Twilight Zone Walking Dead Xmen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
