Re: prize game payout rate?
I have been to Darien lake and tbh i was a little offended by the situation there as well, most theme parks have these rigged games however DL had an extremely high concentration of nothing but rigged games. When I went there a couple years ago, I don't think there was a legitimate redemption game i...

Re: Never really went to arcades as a kid.?.. post here!
Am I alone in this hobby where I never lived near an arcade, or went to parties where it was hosted at one...? I grew up watching other kids play and studying attract-modes... I crowded around to watch others play at the corner stores or street locations, then later at pool halls and bowling alleys...

Re: I finally found out what happened to the Sega R360 from the Skylon tower and wrote an article about it
i am going to have some more news on a different R360 soon however I do not think this particular one could be saved no matter what, it was so damaged there was no way. Structural issues are a huge problem and would be very expensive to repair even if they were able to be repaired, this is basically...

Re: I finally found out what happened to the Sega R360 from the Skylon tower and wrote an article about it
I am not sure about my feelings on the matter either! It was clearly an accidental death of the machine, but I do not know if I should be upset about it or not (I haven't shed a tear over it yet), you should hear the locals talk about this game when you mention it to them, I almost don't want to tel...

Re: Anyone played Star Wars Battle Pod?
I have played it however I found the dome screen made me dizzy. It is a cool machine though, there is a version with motion out there too, I can't imagine playing this with motion as it would likely be very sickening for me.

Re: This should bring back some memories....
Ironically I do not remember games at corner stores here, I mainly remember them in mall locations, however I do remember one super mario cabinet in a currently defunct grocery store, that is the only one. However we did have lots of claw machines, bubble gum machines and chicken machines in grocery...

Re: Cool article: Why arcades haven't died in the US
I see no signs of arcades dying in my area, in fact business seems to have picked up at some of them.

Anyone from the old school RGVAC (rec.games.video.arcade.collecting) newsgroup.. that is where I am from. If you want to check out some drama read past posts on there... there is some crazy drama on there. I don't even know how I survived it as I know a few grown men who left the hobby due to the dr...

Re: Impressions of KLOV
Hmm I've been on KLOV since 2007 I think?? And I never had to pay anything... dunno what that is or if that was something implemented after I joined... Its not too bad, the PM feature can be useful as it sends an email to the person's email when you PM them, but you should be careful on there if you...

Re: A hilarious review of the book "Profiting From Arcades: Dave & Buster's"
That was ... interesting. I would like to point out that the book was written in 2011 and most of the tactics in there probably won't work anymore.
