Is there a market for a modern arcade? Is it possible to be profitable? Is it quitessential to have skeeball ddr and wackamole? If yes to all then this could be a good idea to include in a bar or something. I tried to go to EXP on pender the other day and there was a 30 minute wait. I seen a few arcade games and realized this town lacks colorful nerdy drinking spots. Would any of you go to an arcade pub?

But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

If they got a third strike or a ST cabinet, I'd be there every weekend.
It's 100% in my mind a grow up underneath there.

Never. Arcades compete with Casinos apparently.

There used to be a bunch of Johnny Zees in Victoria but they have dissapeared. The closest we get here is a few arcade games in movie theatres.
One day I will own Daytona USA side by side sit down units!! Love that game.
