Those light gun cabinet games are/were dope too

 

[John Price]

Huh. Never knew that.

TIL.

It depends on the arcade. For something like Dave and Busters or Round One that's the case. That's what happened last time I went in September

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Oh shit…I just read that the Playdium arcade in Mississauga closed last year due to “area re-development.”

Shame as I always wanted to go check it out….

 

[John Price]

A lot of the smaller arcades are gone

They all are at Dave and Busters now

The mall used to have an arcade

One day.

Yeah we had both the T2 and The Addams Family pinball machines at our local bowling alley in Timmins.

Since I bowled there in a league as a kid, I would spend an obscene amount of time playing either machine (if they were available) after I’d bowl every Saturday.

Did you see I saw the mythical #51 bus this morning

Honestly, a night of bowling, pinball, pool and beers sounds like an awful lot of fun right now.

No doubt.

@Tarantula when was the last time you visited MarineLand™

Mid 80's it was a sudden early day drunken road trip. I remember my one friend dry heaving just looking at the roller coaster as we drank the beer we smuggled in.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

No doubt.

I have a young kid and a wife with a (currently) significant injury, and I work from home; I don't get to do many fun things at the moment. But that sounds awesome.

Yes I did

Dodgy mall arcades are pretty sweet because they have none of those shit ticket games

 

[John Price]
