Where's the best place to play carnival games/games where you can win tickets to collect prizes? Sort of like the kids market in granville island but bigger? Besides PNE, CHQ or whatever

[Presto]

Have you tried Castle Fun Park in Abby?

They have games that give tickets, an arcade, 3 mini golf courses, batting cage, bumper cars, go karts, and ice cream.

[murd0c]

Castle Fun park is the best unless if you can find a traveling carnival that goes from city to city. But it's summer time go to the PNE!!!

[AzNightmare]

I would suggest Castle Fun Park.

[Lomac]

I'll second (fourth?) Wonderland... er, Castle Fun Park.

chuck e cheese in Langley if you don't want to go farther

Playdium in the new Metropolis extension

Castle fun parks arcade is soooo ghetto lol but it's nice to play the classics I guess

I miss Lester's, one night me and some buddies were hot knifing hash out in the parking lot and the skinny guy who gave change came out and told us "don't get too high to play games" lol wtf

Are you trying to make us all depressed?
:rukidding:

I miss that place.
:QQ:

[jeedee]

E-Spot? :troll:

[dinosaur]

Why did playdium close down? I remember going once and it was packed but that was when it was still fairly "new". I'm guess business slowed exponentially...

Wonder why nobody has tried to replicate it....

[CorneringArtist]

The main Playdium still exists in Ontario, I guess there was a lack of market here for an arcade of that size. I remember the place spanning like three floors, and dat Sega Rally.

[JesseBlue]

Here is a fun place to go...a little far though...

Caine's Arcade - YouTube

Yes. I recall this place. I think it was called "Score."

Chuck E Cheese in Langley is a sad place if you've ever been to the Chuck E Cheese in Burnaby.

Just went there today with my wife, and I am impressed that the arcade isn't full of moldy games. There's a lot of classics, but they also have a lot of games that have been released in the last 3-5 years.

We had a lot of fun, and will go back again soon!


For my future reference, the jungle mini golf is better than the ocean mini golf.

[Mike Oxbig]

arcade places are mostly ghetto now, they arent hip anymore....

[FOREVER]

castlefunpark has this "jumprope game" 30 or 60 cents for 100 tickets if you perfect the game every time :lawl:

[TOS'd]

CHQ, all dem cool kids hang out there

[Hurricane]

There aren't really anymore decent gaming places around the lowermainland.

[GLOW]

i noticed even lesters on kingsway finally closed down.

[smoothie.]

They've been gone for years. Pretty depressing

[LYC]

Greedy landlords and the advent of arcade-quality consoles like the PS1 will do that.

Most people don't know but Movieland is actually the oldest Arcade/Peepbooths in North America.

There history there. Plus they have Super Turbo and Thirdstrike Cabinets. Can't find those anywhere. There are usually gatherings every friday and saturday.

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?

You mean like Dave & Busters in the States? Fuck yeah I would, nothing like a few beers and some Rush 2049 to have a good night!

[corollagtSr5]

lol rush was the shit back in the day!

[ae101]

espot was the shit & still is the shit

i remember playing 59km map in mt2 at espot & rush, that was the shit back then

[meowjinboo]

espot was the shit & still is the shit

they dont even have an ST machine even after i begged the owner to buy my CPS2 for 100 dollars.

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.

That reminds me, when can we mail in requests for changing these dinosaurs policies?

[meowjinboo]

Never. Arcades compete with Casinos apparently.

[TouringTeg]

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.
