They just opened up a huge arcade in the next town over.

wariovswario · 04-28-2008, 07:03 PM

Why the heck would they put a huge arcade by the beach? Seriously...we are a town of about less than 1700. No one wants to play games at arcades anymore where they have two buttons and a joystick. It's just not fun anymore. No one wants to collect tickets to win something that they buy from the manufacturer for about 10 cents to a dollar. It is a waste of space and it will go out of business in less than three months. Why the heck has the town refused to open up a roller skating ring but open up a two story arcade? LOSERS!!! IF I WERE A TOURIST I WOULD NOT SPEND MY DAY ON THE BEACH INSIDE AN ARCADE PLAYING CRAPPY GAMES AND GETTING RIPPED OFF. Way too nerdy.

You'd be surprised to know that it's quite common to have an Arcades at beach towns. (Well it is for over in England)

Even in my favourite beach town has about six Arcades. One has a Bowling Alley on it's top floor!

Plus those ticket machine prizes are only for the people that can't figure it out to be cheaper.

Rolls-Royce Man · 04-29-2008, 07:31 AM

^^ You should get Tekken 6 in there. <_<

I am nobody · 04-29-2008, 08:36 AM

Unless this arcade is way out of date, most of the games are probably not ticket games.

***CaptHayfever*** · 04-29-2008, 10:48 AM

Beach towns are great for arcades because of the increased tourism such towns usually have. Our parents are from the Pac-Man generation; they love arcades.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

SephirothKirby · 04-29-2008, 02:01 PM

The hell is wrong with you?

Arcades are grand. I mean, sure, they can suck, but, they shouldn't.

DDR is great fun.

Colin Greenwood · 04-29-2008, 02:28 PM

Arcades are awesome. Hell, I can play Pac-Man all I want online, but if they have it at a hotel I'm staying in, I'll still put a few quarters in, it's just better. Plus DDR and still a lot of fighting games.

Wootmaster · 04-29-2008, 02:29 PM

The best arcade game is GauBLUE WIZARD SHOT THE FOOD

wariovswario · 04-29-2008, 03:25 PM

Well us locals would've preferred the roller skating rink over an arcade. It seems more and more like the town council puts tourists into more consideration than us. Wells is a beach town...but the closest thing to a boardwalk is in Ogunquit.

Colin Greenwood · 04-29-2008, 04:10 PM

Well, if tourism is one of their biggest industries, they sure as hell are going to want to favor tourists if they want more money.

**Booyakasha** · 05-21-2008, 11:28 AM

Depends on the games. If they opened an arcade down the street with a few good classic beat-em-ups, shmups, fighters, a good lightgun cabinet, a racing cabinet, a couple pinball machines, and an air-hockey table, I'd pretty much ask my boss to start paying me in quarters.

**L007 is Cooler than Dylan** · 05-21-2008, 11:58 AM

You might want to come down to our arcade.

It's small, but pretty neat. Tekken 5, Ninja Assault, both Cruis'n USA and Exotica, Tokyo Wars, Crazy Taxi, and a number of others. I suck at Tekken, though.

**Booyakasha** · 05-21-2008, 05:26 PM

^Not a bad setup. If I were in charge, I'd ditch one of the 'Cruis'n's for 'Offroad', 'Tekken V' for 'Soul Edge', and 'Ninja Assault' for 'Time Crisis 2', and acquire a 'Die Hard Arcade' cabinet. Oh, and a four-cart Neo-Geo cabinet (KOF 94, Samurai Shodown 3, and Metal Slug 1 & 2) would be needed, as well.

**L007 is Cooler than Dylan** · 05-21-2008, 06:10 PM

We had Metal Slug/Bust-A-Move at our Pizza Hut when it was actually fun to go to.

Actually, I think our arcade also has Offroad. Not sure, I haven't played them all.

Colin Greenwood · 05-21-2008, 06:36 PM

^ My Pizza Hut had a Metal Slug 2/KoF 94/Fatal Fury/Bust a Move machine before they went to a generic light gun game.

MC Mushi Mo · 05-21-2008, 09:40 PM

What is it with Pizza Hut and Metal Slug/Bust a Move?

And what is it with them not having Metal Slug/Bust a Move anymore?

Also, Arcades = <3. I remember the bowling alley here having a Two-Player Resident Evil FPS in its arcade. Badassery, and lots of fun.

PSYCHOKID909 · 05-25-2008, 11:22 PM

I once had the joy of playing Marvle Vs Capcom in a hotel at Billings Montana. Sadly that cabinet was gone the next time I was at said hotel.

Irby · 05-26-2008, 03:19 PM

Your lucky. My town doesn't have a god damn arcade.
