Whoa.

Most of the games at the Nickel Arcade are older and IMPOSSIBLE to find. They have more Technos games and early Capcom or Sega games than I have HEARD of, let alone seen at one place!

**Looks through the list again and notices something**

....

Battletoads...in the arcade? :confused: I never knew!

it's a unique arcade version of battletoads.. not like the NES or SNES games but different.. its graphics are a bit better than SNES quality, if i can remember..
very nice game..

*sigh*... i wish there was a good arcade near me...

Wait, you mean that Daytona USA costs only five cents to play? If that's the case, then DAMN, that's awesome.

Who the hell keeps nickels on them? But damn, a buck would get you some serious play time. Cowboys of Moo Mesa is a good one. I like Sunset riders more though.

The Cowboys of Moo Mesa was a great cartoon series too. ;)
