Who here plays games at an arcade?

[Zerodash]

As long as MvC2 is at the arcade, I will go there.

Fun N Games isnt too bad

its not great but its not horrible either

[g0zen]

We've got three Tilts in our area and they perodically swap cabs around to whichever has lagging business and then when it picks up they move it to one of the others. The main attractions between the three of them are:

Crisis Zone
Time Crisis 2
W.A.R.
Lucky & Wild
Mark of the Wolves
Last Blade 2
A Neo-Geo Cab with like 5 games, I think SamSho 3 & 4 and NAM 1975 among them.
SVC: Chaos
MvC
MvC2
Soul Calibur 2
House of the Dead 2
DDR Max
Wing War

Yeah, I talk Austin up all the time. We're one of the most wired cities in America. We have a university of 50,000 people, about half of which are Vietnamese and Taiwanese girls around the age of 18. We've got the coolest anime/sushi/boba (bubble tea) place anywhere (Momoko), we've got a ton of great sushi bars all over town. We've got two really nice lakes in town and lots and lots of hills on the West Side for all your mountain biking needs. And we've got a music and club culture that is always hopping. Come by and see us.

I agree x100

I like Tapioca House on MLK better. It's the cheapeast boba around. Scourge what part of town do you live in?

scourge is killing me here, we now have one, count em, one fucking arcade left within a 2 hour drive of johnstown. and its a cyberstation, which means, shooting games, raceing games, and some neglected fighting games(and a ddr machine, which is practically the only thing that gets played). i dont think some of you younger gamers really understand what arcades used to be, by the time you were playing games, the decline had already begun. but in the early to mid 80's arcades were a world all their own, the atmosphere of that can never be replaced by console games and online games, no matter how good they are. hell, i would trade in morrowind right now to walk into an arcade and find some new, weird side scrolling action game or even a 4-6 person beat em up. you really had to be there to understand why.

The last of the arcades in my old town cleared out with the takeover of a food store I used to visit regularly, so there's nothing to hardly see anymore. All I know of that's hosting any are my pc and the namco arcade which I have to run a few miles for. They took down time-crisis and gunblade so it's not worth the effort.

As long as there is civilization, there will be a Chinatown Fair. Home of the last realy good and affordable arcades this side of teh 80s. I also go to Lazer Park for Initial D and Fight Mania. 'Cause Hokuto Shinken has no equal and stuff.

Well, as disappointed as I am to report it, I don't actually live in Austin. I used to live here, but I do work here and all my friends are here and until recently my girlfriend lived here, and, well, I say here because 99% of the time I'm posting, like right now, I'm in Austin. I stay with friends some weekends who until recently lived in the 2222/Shoal Creek area, back behind Burnet Rd., kind of near where S&B Amusements is on Burnet. They just bought a house out off Oak Knoll somewhere so they'll be up North off 183 in the next coupla weeks (and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to move my Neo-Geo 2 slot outta their place). I live South of Austin at another lake: Canyon Lake out in the hills and country. But I'm all over Austin all the time.

Tapioca, eh? Nobody else I've been to in town has had a decent selection of bubble teas. They're all fruity. I like the flowery ones and stuff, the pan one is really, really good. CoCo's never impresses. There is another on Guadalupe by campus that is good, I forget the name, near Hao-Hao next to where Animagix use to be. But the one near Panda Express isn't too hot. Momoko has a huge selection. And they show anime in there sometimes. And their grilled eel is to die for!! tho a bit expensive They're rice balls are really great too!
