Actually probably going to start going there. Just got a new job in Dallas, so getting off at midnight and going to get bodied seems well within my grasp. :D

Mustacheality!
I had three near where I lived in Maine. The biggest one and the one with all the newest games was called the Dream Machine. There was another smaller one called Alladin's Castle. And finally I used to hit the sticks at this bowling alley called, Spare Time (see what they did there???) :D

Back where I grew up (Lausanne, Switzerland), where had one called The Las Vegas. I remember pool tables, MvC1/2, SF2, 3rd Strike, some Virtua Tennis games, Crazy Taxi, Deytona USA, Time Crisis, and some old school stuff. I heard that place closed down. >_>

Get staffed bro
My local was actually a Quasar (laser tag) place that happened to have an arcade in it. It must have made so much more money than quasar! This was probably back in 1994. In fact it definitely was as they had a Killer Instinct machine and part of the 'attract' sequence was 'Coming to your home in 1995, only on Nintendo Ultra64!' It wasn't even close to the arcade though lol.

Machines of note were:

Ridge Racer
Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Killer Instinct 1 & 2
Virtua Fighter
Puzzle de Pon
Metal Slug
Sonic Blastman (The punching one)
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3

Ah fun times, I miss arcade and as good (or bad) as on-line gaming can be, it's not the same. I met some of my best friends there too.
