Video game sightings?

Hey Y'all,

I have been seeing a lot of 80's arcade style games in restaurants here in town and it's blowin' my mind! I haven't seen these in years, only the sleek new games of today. Anyways, are there any places that you see old style arcade games and it just freaks you out, in a nice way?

Only old arcade games I ever see are those at travelling amusement parks...If one of those parks are just remotely near where I live, I'm there....Just love to play these old machines...Reminiscing

I found an arcade in an airport that had Centipede, Galaga, 1943, and several others. Needless to say, I spent some time in there (almost caused me to miss my friend I was supposed to pick up

).

That would be so sweet! I haven't seen one of the old classic's in years.

Well there used to be this pizza hut down the street that had some old arcade games, like golden axe and stuff. And I think these's still a papa gino's that has some old ones as well. Salem Willows has ALOT of older stuff, which I love.

Do they still have those ancient pinball machines that have slots for 5 cents?

Those things were pretty cool. Or what about that western game that's like an actual movie you play? I haven't been there in soooooo long. I used to go there like everyday way back when

Surprised they're still carrying the old games....nice to know though

Lol I remember that western game, I think they got rid of it a few years ago. I don't know about the pinball machines

but, they do have those old fashion cartoon viewer thingys for only 10 cents. I was there last week but, didn't really check the arcade too much.

Actually, I remember reading about some people that intended to make a "working" museum about 50 km from where I live with a lot of those great old machines

I can't remember exactly where it's located and when it would open, but if I find out I'm definately going to visit

Finally a museum worth spending time in

Just found out, that the museum has a webpage up and running. Going to open May 11'th. So if you happen to be in Denmark and want to try all those good old arcade machines check it out

80's cafe's and resturants.

Wow, all we need is hoverboards and Back the the Future 2 will have been right on target :P

Edit: Actually as I recall there actually were overboards made about 12 years ago but they were prone to flipping over and could ony be used on certain pavements. I remember seeing them on one of the popular news/media TV shows like Entertainment Tonight. Too bad they were nothing like the ones in the movie.
