racerx Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Public arcades, or our own? I've got a Gran Trak 10 and a Video Action from 1974 and 1975, respectively. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syzygy1 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I saw a Rolling Thunder machine at Fritz Dietel in Westwood. (It replaced a Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga/Frogger machine.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny_galaga Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 There is a cafe not too far from me that has a Taito Space Invaders cocktail cab. Has a 60 in 1 or something in it and an LCD screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 There's a penny arcade located near me called The Old Sled Works that has EM, pinball and Pong. Here's a tour I did last December https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpIJZ7LhGOw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 The oldest I know of in my area are in my garage. Bombs Away (ca. 1976) and Super Space Stranger (ca. 1978) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a tour I did last December https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpIJZ7LhGOw Haha, the motorcycle is probably the predecessor to Atari's F-1, another mechanical/projector driving game. The crash scene used to give me nightmares. Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1WSYdn1b8I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimefighter Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 In my city, arcade games are now being displaced by gambling machines. Ugh. And of course they call it Video Gaming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 A few EM pinball machines aside, a local bar has a nice Pole Position II machine. I play it whenever I go up there to play pinball. It's just a quarter a play (unfortunately, the scores don't save). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nshollingsworth Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 An electro-mechanical game called something like us marshal that you shot like robbers with a pistol. In woody's bar and grill in Goleta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) Sorry to bump, but I have a friend who owns a Sky Kid machine. Not sure why resurrecting old threads is seemingly verboten. I love it when old threads are given new life. As for the oldest machines in my area, there's a truck stop nearby with a bootleg Ms. Pac-Man. I think that's the oldest. Edit: Whoops, looks like I already replied to this thread. LOL. Edited March 25, 2016 by BillyHW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Woo hoo, a metanecro thread! What the hell, I'll play. The oldest arcade game in my area (that I know of) might be the one in my living room: Anti-Aircraft (Atari, 1976). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Not sure why resurrecting old threads is seemingly verboten. I don't get it either man. A couple of years ago I was bored so I poked around some old threads that I replied to and the mods here went ballistic. I figure if the threads aren't locked anyone can reply to it at any time.

BigO Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I don't get it either man. A couple of years ago I was bored so I poked around some old threads that I replied to and the mods here went ballistic. Really? I haven't seen any evidence of that. I don't know that I've ever churned up an old thread though. I wonder why it would it trouble a moderator. I find it ironic that anyone would complain about reviving old threads in a forum dedicated to ancient hardware and nostalgia. On the other hand, some people complain if a new thread is started when an old one on the same subject already exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syzygy1 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 A Donkey Kong/Donkey Kong Jr./Mario Bros. machine is at my local Dave & Buster's. Currently the only place where I can play Mario Bros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
