I live a half hour away from there. In fact I'm going there tomorrow. If our ever in the area definitely check this place out! It's only $15 to get in for an all day pass and all the games are on free play.

It's a tremendous place. Fighting and shooting fans are particularly well-catered for.

That Rally-X machine is possessed, though

I'm guessing that's what RetroUprising would look like if it were physical instead of virtual - of course that's only speaking of the > Coin-Op (http://www.retrouprising.com/game-menu/coin-op/) section alone.

Surprisingly, I recently came across another video arcade shown in a 80's B - movie called 'The Borrower' {the main character walks directly in front of it during one scene} and looked it up online to see if it was real and - lo, and behold they're still around!

Sassony arcade in East Los Angeles (http://www.ttdila.com/2012/05/arcades-in-la-sassony-arcade.html)

edit: Apparently there are some pretty rare games at the Sassony ..
